Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the Minister's decision dismissing a professional soldier from service without specifying a termination date or legal procedure. The soldier had refused to serve in the State Security Service, leading the Minister to dismiss him under Article 139 of the State Security Service Act. The court ruled that this article only defines the subject of dismissal but fails to establish the specific legal ground or date required by the Military Service Act. Consequently, the dismissal was found to be a gross violation of statutory requirements for ending a professional soldier's service relationship.
