Supreme Court voids dismissal for non-payment of conditional fee due to lack of prior summons.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of an administrative appeal regarding water damage compensation. The appellant, represented by a lawyer, argued that the lower court violated procedural rights by rejecting the appeal for non-payment of a conditional fee without first issuing a summons. The court held that because the appeal specified a monetary value, it required a conditional fee, which mandates a prior summons before rejection. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed a serious violation of law, restoring the appellant's right to court.
