The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of an appeal filed by a national bird protection organization. The organization argued that its statutory purpose and the public interest in environmental protection granted it standing to challenge administrative decisions. The court held that while the lower court erred in denying the NGO's right to appeal, the Supreme Court did not fully allow the appeal but remanded the case for reconsideration by the Administrative Court.
