Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland reclassified a cassation filed after November 30, 2003, as an appeal to be heard by the Court of Appeal. The Association of Authors argued that the specific cassation provision was unconstitutional and should not apply retroactively. The Court ruled that since the unconstitutional provision expired on November 30, 2003, general procedural rules requiring an appeal for first-instance judgments must apply, thereby validating the remedy despite the late filing.
