On 20th June 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that the printer was guilty of illegally refusing to provide services without a "justified cause".
"No one should have to choose between their profession and their faith," said Alice Neffe, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom International (ADF) in Brussels, who later filed the intervention.
"The Supreme Court should have protected the printer's constitutional conscience rights. "The right to freedom of conscience, which is protected by every major human rights treaty, must include the right to act accordingly.
"The Court failed to recognise the printer's religious convictions as a 'justified cause'.
"The Constitutional Tribunal should now address the shortcomings of the current law and determine whether religious beliefs would justify a conscience-based refusal to print a particular message."
On Wednesday, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled that the law which the printer was convicted under was unconstitutional because the punishment for refusing to provide services on the grounds of belief interfered with the printer's right to act according to his conscience.
ADF said in a statement: "It is our hope that this decision will reaffirm the standard expected from other European countries on the protection of conscience rights for service providers."
