Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review against the National Court of Administration's decision to uphold the police's revocation of a gun permit. The applicant, Janusz R., argued that the police exceeded their authority by relying on a regulation without proper legislative basis, while the police contended that storing a firearm in a hotel room constituted negligent custody. The court ruled that the police were correct to revoke the permit because the applicant's storage method created a justified fear of future misuse, satisfying the statutory requirement for revocation.
