Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland refused to examine a complaint regarding procedural delay because it was filed after the appellate proceedings had legally concluded. The applicant, a prisoner seeking a sentence break, submitted the complaint on September 28, 2004, following a final decision denying his request on September 22, 2004. The court ruled that since the underlying proceedings were finalized, the complaint could not be considered within the statutory time limits and must be treated as a late appeal under the Criminal Procedure Code.
