Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the legal question regarding whether a UOKiK employee could represent the President in a model clause invalidation suit. The Court found that the specific procedural rules allowing staff representation in regulatory appeals did not apply to this distinct civil action. Consequently, the general rule requiring an attorney or lawyer was strictly enforced, barring internal staff from acting as counsel.
