The Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review of the Minister's decision denying Polish citizenship to Hubertus R. The court found that the applicant lost citizenship only if the Council of State issued a specific individual permission, which never happened. The court rejected the argument that the applicant's intent to change citizenship triggered automatic loss, emphasizing that public law procedures do not rely on private law interpretations of intent.

Art. 13 ust. 1; Art. 16 ust. 1, 2 ustawy z dnia 15 lutego 1962 r. o obywatelstwie polskim: A general resolution of the Council of State cannot substitute for an individual permission to change citizenship, and the loss of citizenship requires a specific administrative act rather than a presumption of state will based on private law principles.
