The author is critical on the application of Article 51 (2) of the Standing Orders of the Sejm in proceedings in relation to draft law codes and bills to amend draft law codes. He emphasizes that, despite the lack of a provision which would prevent beginning the second reading of the above‑mentioned drafts immediately after the conclusion of the first reading without referral to the committee, extended work on draft law codes and on bills to amend them are useful for the reflection on this legislation which is, in principle, extensive and complex. The author concludes that Article 51 (2) of the Rules of Parliament is contrary to the reason of the law of the proceedings carried out in accordance with a law‑code.
