Polish citizens v. Embassy of Foreign State

Author(ity)

Supreme Court

Date of the decision, of the judgment

26/09/1990

Points of law

The Supreme Court of Poland stated that the unit of the branch office of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Poland is outside the scope of jurisdiction of the Polish court. In the explanation of the ruling there was expressed the opinion that none of the sovereign States is subject to the law of the other State. It undoubtedly gave voice to the theory of absolute jurisdictional immunity of the State.
