Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review filed by the Ombudsman against the Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego's refusal to grant a retired judge employment permission. The Ombudsman argued for a violation of constitutional freedom of profession, while the lower court relied on a statute restricting retired judges to professorial roles. The Supreme Court clarified that the restrictive article applies only to active judges, allowing retired judges to work unless it compromises judicial dignity.
