Supreme Court allows medical board suspension appeal by clarifying administrative jurisdiction covers suspension cases.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the National Administrative Court's dismissal of Maria W.'s appeal against a suspension of her medical license. The medical board suspended her for refusing a mandatory examination, while the lower court incorrectly claimed it lacked jurisdiction to review such administrative decisions. The court ruled that the statutory definition of 'proceedings regarding deprivation of the right to practice' encompasses suspension cases, thereby granting the National Administrative Court proper jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
