Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk informs that on 24 January 2017, the Supreme Administrative Court issued the decision that revokes the ruling of the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw of 16 November 2016, which suspended the execution of the ordinance of the Minister Of Culture and National Heritage regarding the merger of the state cultural institutions of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk and the Museum of Westerplatte and the War of 1939 and the establishment of a new public cultural institution — the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk.

In the substantiation, the Court made no reference to the merits of the suspension of the execution of the ordinance of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, but it did point out the formal infringements that the Provincial Administrative Court made in considering the motion in the lawsuit in the first instance.
Therefore this means that the said ordinance remains in force.
Furthermore, the Court stated that "one should emphasise that the current stage of the proceedings the administrative courts dealt only with the issue of suspending the execution of the decision of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, but not with complaints regarding the decision", which means that the issue of legality of the decision of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage has not been considered by the Supreme Administrative Court.
