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, an article authored by Pawel Osinski was published on the liability of a superior in a state institution for defamatory words spoken at an official meeting.

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.
