Abstract

The subject of the article is a positive analysis of the thesis of the justification of the Appeal Court in Łódź judgment of 17 July 2018 (I ACa 1448/17), according to which disputes about educational grants given by local government units to private institutions granted before 1 January 2017 have the nature of public law and should be adjudicated – in principle – by Administrative Courts. In the opinion of the author, the determination of the legal nature of educational grants and the competent court to hear disputes related to it, has been correctly interpreted by the Court of Appeal.
