Supreme Court allows lawyer's appeal in labor dispute after new law permits individual representation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision that had dismissed a lawyer's appeal in a labor dispute. The plaintiff argued that a new law from May 1997 allowed lawyers to represent individuals, whereas the lower court relied on an older interpretation prohibiting such representation. The court ruled that the new statute explicitly permits lawyers to act as counsel for natural persons, thereby validating the appeal's procedural standing.
