The firm in the media: in the Rzeczpospolita Daily, an article on the liability of a superior for defamation

In the April 29, 2025 edition of Dziennik Rzeczpospolita, Administration supplement (www.pro.rp.pl), an article authored by me was published on the liability of a superior in a state institution for words spoken at an official meeting that defamed a subordinate.

The article refers to a real case that was concluded with a final judgment of the Regional Court in Warsaw, confirming the guilt of the superior. The article discusses such issues as the liability of a state official for words expressed in connection with their function, liability for the crime of defamation under Article 212 of the Criminal Code, and the legal consequences of a court conviction for a state official.
