title: Mateusz Wojtanowski, Kulturowa judycjalizacja administracji publicznej a interpretacja prawa administracyjnego, Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis No 4396, University of Wrocław Press, Wrocław 2025, pp. 313
description: Mateusz Wojtanowski’s monograph proposes an original concept of the cultural judicialisation of public administration, according to which its subjection to the law should be understood not merely as compliance with legal norms, but as participation in legal culture and an interpretative community. The author breaks down the traditional opposition between judge and civil servant, presenting the latter as a fully-fledged interpreter of the law. This work combines theoretical legal analysis with an examination of judicial practice, revealing discrepancies between the formalist model of interpretation and actual interpretative pluralism. As part of the postanalytic philosophy of law, the monograph integrates theory and legal doctrine and formulates a normative proposal of significant importance for understanding the role of public administration in a democratic state governed by the rule of law.

The right of a prisoner to obtain a free copy of medical records – an analysis of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 26 October 2023 (C-307/22)
type: item
description: The aim of this article is to provide an in-depth analysis of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 26 October 2023 in Case C-307/22, with a particular focus on its implications for prisoners’ rights to a free copy of their medical records. Within the context of human rights protection standards and patients’ rights, access to medical documentation constitutes a crucial element enabling the exercise of numerous rights for individuals deprived of their liberty. This paper seeks to assess the extent to which the CJEU ruling may influence the interpretation and application of national regulations concerning prisoners’ access to their medical history, and what potential changes in penitentiary practice may arise from this analysis. The relationship between EU law and Polish regulations in this area will be examined, as well as the potential of the CJEU judgment to strengthen the legal standing of inmates within the penitentiary system.

title: A critical assessment of the abolition of the statute of limitations on criminal liability and on the enforcement of sentences for certain offences (Section 105 of the Criminal Code, as amended in 2022)
description: This study addresses the issue, in particular the doubts concerning the extension of the catalogue of exclusions from the statute of limitations under Article 105 of the Criminal Code. The first chapter is based on presenting the institution of the statute of limitations and identifying a specific catalogue of acts to which it does not apply. Subsequent research areas include critical remarks regarding the selection of particular offences, their purposefulness, and the intentions of the legislator. The final chapters are based on an analysis of the principle of lex retro non agit in the context of amendments extending limitation periods, as well as on an assessment of the structure of the provisions. The primary research method applied in this study was the deductive method, including an analysis of the relevant literature, rulings as well as detailed analysis of the Article 105 provision of the Criminal Code.

Institution of subsidiary liability and its compliance with the principles of liability defined in Polish criminal law
type: item
description: The subject of this article is to analyze the compatibility of subsidiary liability (articles 24th and 25th of the polish penal fiscal code) with the principles of broadly understood polish criminal law, in particular the principle of guilt and the principle of individual and personal liability for the prepetrator’s act. The thesis of the article is to demonstrate that the institution of subsidiary liability does not contradict, and is in accordance with, the principles set out in broadly understood criminal law. The discussion covers issues such as: presenting the institution of subsidiary liability, analysis of the assumptions of the principle of guilt as well as the principle of individual and personal liability, assessment of the systemic compliance of the provisions of the institution of subsidiary liability, having regard to the provisions of generally applicable case law and the position of doctrine.

A contribution from the spouses’ joint property without the other spouse’s consent and the limits of a legal person’s autonomy
type: item
description: The contribution of assets forming part of the spouses’ joint property to a capital company as an in-kind contribution (aport) without the consent of the other spouse leads to a change in the structure of the joint property by replacing the asset with share rights governed by commercial law. Shares acquired in exchange for such a contribution may belong to the marital joint property; however, the status of shareholder is vested exclusively in the spouse who subscribed for the shares. According to the case law of the Supreme Court, the effectiveness of the contribution in the sphere of company law does not determine its full effectiveness in the property relations between spouses. The lack of the spouse’s consent required under Article 37 of the Polish Family and Guardianship Code does not, as a rule, result in the invalidity of the transaction with respect to the company or third parties, but it produces consequences in the property relations between the spouses, particularly at the stage of the division of marital property. In this respect, the compensatory mechanisms provided for in Articles 45 and 46 of the Family and Guardianship Code are of particular importance. In specific circumstances, such a transaction may also be regarded as an act aimed at circumventing the law within the meaning of Article 58 § 1 of the Polish Civil Code. The autonomy of a legal person is therefore subject to limitations resulting from mandatory rules of family law and the constitutional principle of protection of marriage and the family.

Entitlement to vacation leave under the provisions of the labor code after termination of an administrative service relationship, as exemplified by the police act
type: item
description: The article is of a scientific and research nature, and its subject is the analysis of legal acts and case law of the Supreme Administrative Court and the Supreme Court in the field of administrative law, labor law and service pragmatics, i.e. the Police Act. The subject of the considerations is the issue of vacation leave to which a police officer is entitled during the administrative and legal relationship and after its termination, and then taking up employment under the provisions of the Labor Code in the same calendar year, taking into account the possibility of applying calculations in accordance with the principle of proportional leave (Article 1551 § 1 section 2 of the Labor Code). The research goal was to demonstrate that vacation leave can be calculated on the basis of the Labor Code to a former police officer, despite the payment of a cash equivalent for unused vacation leave, who acquired this right under the existence of the service relationship, and also that in the case of a service relationship that is also regulated by special provisions, it is possible to apply the provisions of the Labor Code only in cases where the legislator directly indicates this in the provisions of the Act.

Legal challenges related to the use of stem cells in rejuvenation procedures
type: item
description: The aim of this article is to analyze the legal challenges related to the use of stem cells in rejuvenation procedures. Given the dynamic development of aesthetic medicine and the growing interest in therapies based on stem cells, it becomes crucial to define the legal framework governing their application. The paper discusses both national regulations and selected international standards concerning the admissibility, safety, and supervision of such procedures. Particular emphasis is placed on issues of legal liability of practitioners, patient protection, and risks arising from insufficient harmonization of legal provisions. The analysis seeks to identify regulatory gaps and possible directions for the development of law in the field of stem cell use in aesthetic medicine.

Lack of consent as the basis for redefining article 197 § 1 of the criminal code
type: item
description: The study addressed the issues and doubts concerning the change in the definition of rape, specifically through the addition of the element of consent to the basic provision. However, this is not possible without highlighting the specificity of the problems that the criminal law system grapples with, and revealing the legal gaps that the amendment of June 28, 20243 creates. At the outset, it was necessary to outline the historical background, which showed how the provision of Article 197 § 1 of the Criminal Code has evolved over the years, what Legal prerequisite it has established so far, as well as their relation to the explanatory memorandum of the parliamentary bill amending the act of February 14, 2024. The second thematic area was based on an attempt to define the meaning of consent as an element of the crime of rape. The research attempt included considerations based on the Patient Rights Act and the Patient Rights Ombudsman, Civil Code, as well as relevant doctrine. The third area focused on examining the need for a redefinition. The analysis includes statistical data, the 20134 amendment to the prosecution procedure, issues of victimization and re-victimization, as well as reflections based on court rulings. The final area aimed to identify and address problems that have been left unrecognized, such as the scope of granted consent and its revocation, as well as the phenomenon of bodily paralysis in response to fear and violence. The primary research method applied in this study was the deductive method, encompassing the analysis of relevant literature and rulings.

Airbnb and company. How short-term rental is changing the real estate market
type: item
description: Short-term rental, which involves renting apartments and houses per number of days, is rapidly growing in Poland, especially in tourist destinations. The lack of clear legal regulations in this area leads to numerous problems, such as rising housing prices, limited access to properties for permanent residents, and unfair competition against the hotel industry. The European Union is introducing new regulations aimed at standardizing rules and protecting the interests of all parties involved in the short-term rental market. Poland is also taking steps to adapt to these changes, striving for sustainable tourism development and better control of this sector.

Insurance broker in public contract for property insurance of a medical entity
type: item
description: The article is an original work, dedicated to the role of an insurance broker in the process of an award of a contract for property insurance by healthcare institutions under the regime of the Public Procurement Law. An overwhelming number of healthcare institutions contracting insurance, are obliged to conduct a public procurement procedure. Insurance services are not objectively excluded from the application of the Public Procurement Law. The contracting authority may conduct the procedure itself, or in cooperation with an insurance intermediary, such as an insurance broker. The insurance broker may conduct the procedure by proxy, or may participate in the procedure as an expert or member of the tender committee. The participation of an insurance broker does not relieve the contracting authority’s manager of responsibility for the conduct of the procedure. Controversy arises over the brokerage form of the remuneration, but an analysis of law regulations and insurance practices, makes it possible to conclude that there is no conflict of interest in terms of the Public Procurement Law. The aim of the research is to analyze the role of the insurance broker in public procurement procedures and the potential for conflicts of interest. The scope of the research includes healthcare institutions, insurers and insurance brokers, operating in the territory of the Republic of Poland, since the commencement of law of September 11, 2019, Public Procurement Law. The above subject is not is not widely addressed in jurisprudence and doctrine, which positively influences the originality of the results and significant cognitive value.

type: item
description: The subject of this paper is to present the principles of responsibility of the engagement quality control reviewer both from the point of view of his own responsibility for the performance of the service and the responsibility of the audit firm. Special attention was paid to the possibility of being subject to disciplinary, administrative, civil and labor liability. The study attempts to answer the following questions. First, whether the location of the engagement quality control reviewer within the team, or outside the team, conducting the audit is relevant to his own responsibility for the performance of the service, as well as the audit firm’s liability therefor. Second, whether it is possible to impose an administrative penalty on the audit firm in the event of non-performance or improper performance of the engagement quality control reviewer. Thirdly, whether it is legally possible to “pass on” to the engagement quality control reviewer the financial consequences incurred by the audit firm, caused by the need to pay administrative fines imposed on the audit firm, as well as – the consequences of further possible damage suffered by the company as a result of the behavior of the engagement quality control reviewer.

The formation of a driving license suspension
type: item
description: The subject of the article is the analysis of regulations concerning the suspension of driving licenses and the institutions corresponding to them earlier since regaining independence in 1918, aimed at determining its possible evolution and defining its significance. Tracing over 100 years of its regulation, in particular its causes, has shown a clear development of this legal institution. This is evidenced by its relatively early isolation and gradual expansion of the reasons for the suspension of driving licenses and finally giving it a statutory character.

The role of precedent in the system of sources of law
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to explore and compare the role of judicial precedents in the system of sources of law in the common law and civil law cultures. The technical and functional features of a precedent are evaluated, as well as its de jure and de facto influence, with the definition of the relevant factors that have impact on and drive the dynamics of the development of the judicial system. The notions of the precedent value and legal importance are explored and applied for evaluation and classification of the role that a particular judicial decision may play. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that the variety of determinants, that must be considered in order to evaluate the scope of influence of a judicial decision, is extremely broad and context–dependent. In conclusion, instead of conventional methods of analysis that are accepted in the common law and civil law systems, there is a demand for a principally new system of classification that must be subject to further research and ideological development of legal innovations.

Development of the Procedure of Presenting Charges in the Polish Criminal Trial
type: item
description: The article discusses the way in which the procedure of presenting charges in the Polish criminal trial has been shaped since Poland regained independence. Therefore, the solutions adopted in the 1928 Code of Criminal Procedure are discussed, attention is drawn to the changes that entered into force together with the Decree of 21 December 1955 amending the provisions of criminal procedure, and the regulations concerning the presentation of charges laid down in the 1969 Code of Criminal Procedure are thoroughly analysed.

Simplified Forms of Presenting Charges .
type: item
description: The subject matter of the article is the issue of simplified forms of presenting charges, which differ from the presentation of charges in the standard mode (applicable in the course of an investigation), and the reduction of some elements referred to in Article 313 CCP. Therefore, the article specifies a detailed characteristic of the reduced method of presenting charges, which is stipulated in Code of Criminal Procedure in relation to three cases: in activities conducted within the indispensable scope (Article 308 § 2 CCP); in an investigation (Article 325g § 2 CCP); and in an accelerated proceeding (Article 517c § 1 CCP). There is also reference to the issue of the moment of procedural effectiveness of presenting charges in a simplified mode, which has not been given sufficient attention in the doctrine and case law so far. It was decided that the transformation of a simplified proceeding into the in personam phase occurs when the person conducting an activity finishes informing (or in accordance with Article 325g § 1 CCP, notifying) a suspect of the charges. Due to the fact that the provisions concerning activities within the indispensable scope, an investigation and a simplified proceeding are not edited in a uniform way, there is a suggestion that the regulations that are in force should be amended.

Abuse of the right of access to public information
type: item
description: The Law on Access to Public Information does not define the limits of the exercise of the right of access to information. Subsequently, the use of the right in question often serves purposes that are inconsistent with the objectives of the Act. As a response to this practice, the concept of abuse of the right of access to public information has been developed in doctrine and case law. The foundations of this concept, however, are the subject of debate. There are also doubts about both the criteria for its application and the limits of its use. The paper addresses the aforementioned issues and aims to confirm two theses. F irst, that despite the absence of a legal provision introducing the concept of abuse of the right of access to public information, there are legitimate grounds for it. Second, that the proper application of this concept can serve to achieve a compromise between the need for access to public information and its possible abuse.

Obtaining information on the use of wiretapping on the basis of the act on access to public information
type: item
description: The article discusses the issue of obtaining information on the use of wiretapping under the Act on Access to Public Information. Whereas the administrative courts have been adjudicating in cases concerning access to public information for over 21 years, taking into account the implementation of the public subjective right stipulated in Art. 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and that they have adopted a broad meaning of the term “public information” in their case law, as well as the subjective scope of beneficiaries entitled to access to public information, there are still doubts as to the possibility of providing information to a person under surveillance. Both the case law of the Provincial Administrative Court and the Supreme Administrative Court have been cited, which plays an important role in understanding the terms contained in the act and which also arouses great interest of the public opinion.

Trade unions and employers’ organizations as a subject of the constitutional right to public information
type: item
description: This article describes both the duties and rights of trade unions and employers’ organizations resulting from the constitutional right to public information, indicated in Art. 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. This right allows private entities to exercise control over the activities carried out by public authorities, as well as real cooperation and dialogue in public space. Therefore, it is not surprising that the statutory regulation provides for the participation of social partners in the implementation of this political right. Trade unions and employers’ organizations are obliged to provide public information and have the right to access such information. This puts these organizations in a special position, because under the right to public information, their status seems to be separate from private and public law entities. At the same time, the position of social partners defined in this way in the implementation of political constitutional law seems to go beyond the social freedoms and rights with which their activities are traditionally associated.

Prohibition on making available of unawarded competition entry and studies elaboration – de lege lata and postulates de lege ferenda
type: item
description: The publication addresses the issue of the prohibition on making available of unawarded competition entry and study elaborations under Article 358(4) of the Public Procurement Law. Article includes an assessment of the current regulation in the context of the principle of proportionality in lawmaking, as well as the legitimacy of its establishment in terms of preventing a competition participant from exercising his right to a court, as well as in terms of compliance with the principle of openness and the principle of equal treatment of economic operators. As a consequence of the analysis of this regulation, arises a concern about its compliance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and the Public Procurement Law, and the effects of its enactment are negative, therefore the publication includes a proposal to amend the regulations in this regard.
