Supreme Court allows interest on military pay as property right under Constitution Art. 64.2.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland granted extraordinary review, overturning the lower court's dismissal of a soldier's claim for interest on delayed military pay. The court held that such payments constitute property rights protected equally by law under Article 64(2) of the Constitution, making timely payment a necessary element of fair remuneration. Consequently, the soldier was entitled to statutory interest as a creditor, rejecting the argument that public law status precluded civil law remedies for delayed compensation.
