The Supreme Court quashed the lower administrative court's decision rejecting a taxpayer's appeal. The taxpayer argued that a summons to correct formal defects was invalidly served via postal deposit without proper notification, violating procedural rules. The court ruled that the lack of evidence proving the statutory notice was posted or delivered to an adult resident meant the service was ineffective, thereby violating the right to a court.

Art. 44 Kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego; Art. 45 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP: When a summons cannot be served as prescribed, depositing it with postal authorities requires explicit notification of deposit; failure to post such notice or deliver to an adult resident invalidates the service and violates the right to a court.
