The author finds the submitted proposal for amendments to be consistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The above‑mentioned proposal extends the competence of the Minister of Justice in the field of supervision of administrative activity of the common courts, which is however limited to new opportunities for obtaining information of the activities of the courts, and does not breach the balance of powers principle. In the author’s view, in the proposed Article 37f §1 (2) of the Law on Common Courts Organization a reservation should be added to explain that it is just about the exercise by the Minister’s of Justice actions “specified in the Act” that are indispensable to counter the irregularities in the administrative work of the courts, or to be applied in case of their occurrence. Moreover, he raises objections to the proposed Article 37f § 1 (3) of the above‑mentioned Act, according to which an external administrative supervision has to include “an analysis and assessment” of application of the law by the courts. That provision is in conflict with Article 8 (2) of the Act and lacks precision. According to the author, it would be advisable to supplement the proposed bill with an obligation to adjust the implementing provisions to the amended Act and to extend the period of vacatio legis.
