The Supreme Court of Poland upheld the First President's extraordinary review against a decision to correct a judgment's sentence. The administrative court had corrected a clerical error where 'dismissed' was written instead of 'set aside', but the review sought to change the substantive outcome from setting aside to dismissing the complaint. The court ruled that the correction procedure under Article 350 § 1 of the Civil Procedure Code is strictly limited to clerical errors and cannot be used to alter the merits of the case, thereby violating the principle of res judicata.
