Supreme Court allows appeal; past union decision alone cannot strip veteran rights if other evidence proves service.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland partially allowed the extraordinary review of a decision stripping a veteran of combatant rights. The lower court relied solely on a contradictory decision by the former ZBOWiD union to deny rights, ignoring the applicant's actual military service records. The court ruled that a conflicting administrative decision is not the exclusive basis for deprivation when documentary evidence proves the applicant's service, thereby upholding the veteran's status.

AI generatedArt. 25 ust. 2 pkt 2 ustawy o kombatantach; Art. 27 ust. 1 ustawy o NSA: A conflicting decision by a former organization cannot serve as the sole ground for depriving a veteran of rights if documentary evidence substantiates their service, as the legislature's intent was to preserve such rights regardless of the specific title of acquisition.
