Supreme Court ruled that a late appeal letter citing valid reasons constitutes a request to restore the filing deadline.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the Naczelny Sąd Administracyjny's decision rejecting the applicants' appeal as inadmissible due to a missed deadline. The applicants argued they missed the filing time not through fault, but because the administrative decision lacked the required court address. The court determined that the letter submitted within the correct procedural window, detailing these valid excuses, must be treated as a formal request to restore the deadline under the relevant administrative law provisions.
