The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court decisions dismissing a state official's lawsuit against a disciplinary fine. The plaintiff argued that the previous judicial exclusion violated his constitutional right to access a court, while the lower courts relied on regulations barring such suits after disciplinary proceedings. The court ruled that the Constitution's guarantee of judicial access overrides administrative regulations, establishing that state employees can challenge final disciplinary decisions in labor courts.
