Supreme Court allows city council to appeal second-instance decision when mayor acted as first-instance authority.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision that had dismissed a city council's appeal against a governor's ruling. The city council argued it had standing to appeal because the mayor, acting as a state administrator, was the proper first-instance decision-maker under property law. The court agreed, clarifying that an administrative body cannot appeal a decision from a higher instance if that body itself was the original decision-maker in the case.
