The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the National Administrative Court's dismissal of a patient's complaint regarding a denied sanatorium referral. The lower court had excluded the matter from judicial review, arguing that referral decisions were not administrative acts subject to court control. The Supreme Court ruled that such decisions involve significant individual rights and must be treated as administrative acts requiring judicial oversight, citing the European Convention on Human Rights. However, the court clarified that its review is limited to legal compliance and procedural correctness, not the medical appropriateness of the decision.
