Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland annulled a ruling by the local enforcement board ordering enforcement officers to disregard a national board's directive. The local board claimed exclusive authority to authorize inspections under Article 93, while the national board argued its oversight powers were independent and comprehensive. The court held that the local board lacked competence to issue orders contradicting the national board's valid regulations, as the law establishes a clear hierarchy without explicit provisions allowing local boards to nullify national decisions.
