Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the appellant's appeal regarding the inadmissibility of legal aid provided by a lawyer. The appellant's counsel was a lawyer employed by a limited liability company while simultaneously providing legal services to the client. The court ruled that such dual status violates the statutory requirements for lawyers offering legal aid to individuals, which strictly prohibit employment relationships. Consequently, the appeal was rejected as the lawyer failed to meet the mandatory conditions for admissibility.
