Supreme Court allows lawyer's appeal dismissal reversal, ruling pre-payment summons required unless appeal text shows inadmissibility.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the National Administrative Court's decision rejecting a lawyer's appeal without first summoning them to pay a filing fee. The court held that while a fixed fee applies to lawyer-submitted appeals, the law mandates a prior summons unless the appeal's content itself indicates inadmissibility. Consequently, the lower court erred by dismissing the appeal immediately without verifying whether the summons was ineffective or if the appeal text warranted immediate rejection.
