The confl ict between the right to privacy and transparency of public information is inevitable, and the case law of the Polish courts administration in this regard clearly indicates the primacy of transparency of the functioning of public authorities and persons holding public offi ce. However, this leads to mindless — and in most cases, deprived of a higher purpose — invasion of privacy of public officials and other employees of the public sector. In extreme cases, it may also jeopardize the smooth operation of the state and the safety of its offi cers distorting the purpose and nature of this form of social control. The article discusses the current posts of Polish administrative courts in regard of the confl ict of right to public information and the right to privacy.
