Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision rejecting a customs appeal filed late. The appellant argued the appeal was time-barred because the decision was served on him, not his lawyer. The court ruled that all procedural documents must be served on the appointed counsel, making the deadline start only upon service to the lawyer. Consequently, the appeal was deemed timely and the lower ruling was annulled.
