Supreme Court allows appeal on scholarship denial, ruling general administrative court jurisdiction prevails over specific university law exceptions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland allowed a student's appeal against a university's refusal of a scholarship, overturning a lower administrative court's dismissal. The lower court had incorrectly interpreted a specific university statute as excluding all scholarship decisions from administrative court review. The Supreme Court clarified that general administrative court jurisdiction under the Administrative Court Act prevails unless explicitly excluded by a specific law, which was not the case here.
