The Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower administrative court's dismissal of a taxpayer's appeal regarding tax deduction refusal. The lower court rejected the appeal because it was filed after the 30-day deadline, which expired on a Saturday. The Supreme Court ruled that Saturday constitutes a statutory non-working day under the Labor Code, granting the taxpayer normal conditions to file the appeal on that final day. Consequently, the court held that a literal interpretation violating constitutional rights to a court was erroneous and restored the appeal for reconsideration.

Art. 57 § 4 Kodeksu pracy; Art. 45 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP: A statutory non-working day includes Saturdays, meaning the final day of a procedural deadline falling on such a day is not considered expired if the party could not reasonably file the appeal due to lack of court or postal service availability.
