AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland voided the lower court's judgment regarding the calculation of a judge's basic salary and remanded the case for retrial.

The court ruled that the lower courts erred by ignoring mandatory budget regulations and failed to correctly determine the applicable salary rates and interest periods.
