Abstract
The article concerns admissibility of a judicial action in cases for payment of the educational subsidy. It outlines the historical background of the problem and discusses the development of relevant regulations as well as evolution of the Supreme Court case law in this matter. The main point is the discussion of the influence of the amendment of the Educational Act of 23 June 2016 on the possibility of pursuing such claims in common courts. The current case law reveals that claims for payment of the subsidy for the period until 2016 inclusive may be pursued before common courts, whereas more recent ones shall be considered administrative courts.
