Polish Supreme Court reversed lower court, ruling candidate status persists despite transfer to new housing cooperative.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the National Administrative Court's dismissal of a compensation claim regarding housing investment eligibility. The applicant argued that transferring him from one housing cooperative to another did not terminate his status as a candidate under the relevant 1991 Act. The court held that the transfer was merely procedural and did not constitute a loss of status, as the applicant had already been accepted as a candidate by the first cooperative. Consequently, the court found the lower court's interpretation of the law violated constitutional principles of social justice and equality.
