Supreme Court dismisses judge's appeal regarding late application for extension beyond age 65 due to new regulation timing.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Judge Danuta S.'s appeal against the Supreme Council's refusal to extend her tenure beyond age 65. The Council rejected her request because it was filed after the six-month deadline set by a regulation that had not yet entered into force at the time of filing. The Court ruled that the Council's internal opinion regarding the deadline could not bind the judge once the formal regulation was published, thereby validating the Council's decision.
