Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court revoked the Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego's decision rejecting the applicant's appeal against a 1998 land ownership grant. The lower court incorrectly applied Article 14 of the 1980 Administrative Court Act, claiming it excluded pre-1980 proceedings from judicial review. The Court ruled this article lost legal force when the 1995 Administrative Court Act took effect, removing the time-based limitation on admissibility. Consequently, the lower court's refusal to review the case violated the applicant's constitutional right to court.
