Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside the appellate court's decision rejecting an appeal from a disciplinary ruling due to unpaid fees. The appellant argued the case was disciplinary, not civil or labor-related, exempting it from civil court costs. The court held that the appeal fee regulation was misapplied because the underlying matter was disciplinary, not civil or labor law, and the right to appeal cannot be restricted by fees.
