Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a final disciplinary dismissal order automatically terminates a prosecutor's employment relationship. The court held that under Article 16(5) of the Prosecution Act, such a dismissal does not end the service relationship, meaning the previous suspension and 50% salary reduction remain valid until the cassation appeal is decided. Consequently, the prosecutor's reduced remuneration continues to be paid during the appeal process.
