Political discrimination claim dismissed; refusal to grant powers based on unverified trust loss is not discrimination.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed cassation appeals by two district mayors who sought compensation for alleged political discrimination. The plaintiffs argued that the Mayor of Warsaw refused to grant necessary civil powers and administrative authorizations based on an unverified loss of trust and subjective doubts about their ability to perform duties. The court ruled that such pre-employment refusal does not constitute discrimination because the lack of trust must be objectively confirmed during the actual performance of public functions.
