The Supreme Court quashed the Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego's decision to dismiss the proceedings as without object. The applicant had requested clarification of an administrative decision under Article 113 § 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code, but the Ministry responded with a mere letter stating the request lacked legal basis rather than issuing a formal ruling. The court held that such a letter does not constitute a valid decision under Article 124 of the Administrative Procedure Code and violates the principle of two-instance proceedings. Consequently, the extraordinary review was allowed to correct this procedural defect.

Art. 113 § 2 KPA; Art. 124 § 1 KPA: An organ must issue a formal ruling to address a request for clarification under Article 113 § 2 KPA; a simple letter denying the request's legal basis violates the principle of two-instance proceedings and fails to provide the necessary legal certainty required for the applicant to exercise their right of appeal.
