Supreme Court allows soldier's housing claim, ruling new law doesn't apply to returned pre-1995 housing aid.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision that had denied a soldier's request for permanent housing quarters. The soldier had received housing aid under old regulations but was forced to return the funds and leave the housing cooperative due to health issues before the new 1995 housing law took effect. The court ruled that applying the stricter new law retroactively would violate the principles of non-retroactivity and protection of acquired rights, thereby allowing the soldier to retain his quarters.
