However, the case ended up in court, where the driver was convicted of driving without a license under Art. 94 § 1 of the Code of Minor Offences. The judge imposed a fine of PLN 2,000 and a driving ban of six months.
Ombudsman intervention
Stanislav Trosiuk, Deputy Ombudsman, filed a cassation appeal, accusing the ruling of gross violation of substantive law. He stated that driving a car without a valid driver’s license does not constitute a deficiency in a driver’s license. The Human Rights Commissioner emphasizes that rights are automatically restored after less than a year, regardless of receipt of the document.

According to Interia, the Human Rights Commissioner was able to overturn this ruling.
