The 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.
