The author is critical of the proposed amendments, as they – in particular – do not abide by the principles of sound legislation. He also points out that the amended Act establishes an exceptional and one‑sided protection of employees without taking into account the interest of the employer.

The opinion indicates that from the literal wording of Article. 1 and 2 of the Act on the Social Dialogue Council one may, prima facie, conclude that the procedure of giving opinion by the Council is to be applied to all the bills and drafts of other law enactments whose scope of regulation contains the issues referred to in Article. 1. However, on the basis of these provisions of the Act, it is not possible to precisely define which bills and drafts are subject to opinion-giving procedure. According to the author, government bill – irrespective of the referral for an opinion to employers’ organizations and trade union organizations – must be submitted for opinion to the Social Dialogue Council.

The bill contains an amendment of Article 50536 of the Code of Civil Procedure enabling the defendant to file an objection against a an order for payment issued in the course of electronic writ-of-payment proceedings. The reasons of procedural economy are justify introducing changes that make it possible to partially appeal from the EPU’s payment order. In the author’s opinion, the implementation of the reasons of the bill does not require addition of new paragraphs. In order to achieve the same result, it is enough to modify the indicated article in such a way that the acceptable scope of the appeal and the effects of raising the objection are set out in provisions concerning the “traditional” writ-of-payment proceedings

In the author’s opinion, the proposed provisions – contrary to their nomenclature – introduce an institution of samesex marriages. Therefore they may be considered incompatible with Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The proposed regulations regarding the dissolution of the partnership provide less protection to the children of partners than the children of one of them adopted by the other, what is inconsistent with the constitutional principle of equality. Besides the bills contain many legal shortcomings.

The author points out that the bill provides a comprehensive framework for the organization of, and proceedings before, the Constitutional Tribunal without missing any essential elements. He is in favour of the provisions aimed at eliminating loopholes and inconsistencies in the existing Constitutional Tribunal Act and the introduction of new regulations designed to prevent undue delay in proceedings before the Tribunal. However, in his view, some provisions of the bill raise doubts relating to their essence and legislative‑technique requirements and, therefore need to be rework in the course of parliamentary work on the bill. The author propose the wording of provisions complementing and clarifying the text of the bill.

The author finds the provisions of the bill to be precisely formulated and consistent with the constitutional principle of proper legislation (Article 2 of the Constitution). According to him, the proposed changes are desirable, they eliminate existing loopholes and introduce a solution contributing to the improvement in proceedings before the Tribunal. By contrast, he believes that the proposed provisions relating to the system and procedures for hearing cases by the Tribunal raise doubts.

In the author’s opinion the amendment would result, inter alia, in adapting the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure relating to the declaration of invalidity of administrative decisions to the principles emanating from Article 2 of the Constitution. The amendment does not preclude other ways of changing the state of affairs resulting from the decisions referred to in the proposed Article 156 §3 of the Code of Administrative Procedure. Specific legal effects of the amendment will depend on the direction and method of interpretation of not quite explicitly formulated provision, according to which a particular administrative decision “was the basis for the acquisition of a right or creates a reasonable expectation of acquisition of a right.

The author is critical about the failure by the authors of the bill to respect the principles of sound legislation, and claims, inter alia, that terms used in the bill is not coherent with that applied in other legislative acts.

The analyzed bill provides that an ex officio lawyer should be appointed to a detainee before procedural steps are taken if the detainee wishes to exercise the right to make contact with him or if procedural steps are to be performed with his participation – and there is no lawyer appointed by choice. The author emphasizes that the disposer of the realisation of the right to defence is the detainee, and within the scope of this right he can decide whether or not to exercise the right to legal assistance. The proposed regulation partially introduces a de facto mandatory defence, disregarding the will of the detainee himself, which does not seem to have been the intention of the sponsor of the bill.

An analysis of the amendments to the Act is focused on the introduction to the Polish labour law of a prohibition against issuing promissory notes, a declaration of submission to enforcement procedure and acknowledgment of debt as means to secure the claims of the employer against an employee arising from the employment relationship. The author gives a positive opinion on the general direction of changes proposed in the bill, due especially to the need to achieve axiological coherence of the legal system. However, he calls into question the relevance of the choice of instruments to be used for this purpose, According to the author, particularly, the acceptance of the effect in the form of invalidity of a promissory note issued by an employee to secure future claims of the employer would constitute a breach of the Convention, binding the Republic of Poland, providing a Uniform Law for Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes.

Examining the presidential bill, the author presents a number of substantive and interpretive doubts aroused by the proposed provisions. Allowing the associations’ bodies to obtain remuneration violates the legal principle according to which associations are based on unpaid work of their members and reinforces the trend of departure from the traditional model of association. Additionally, this raises doubts as to the remuneration of other members of the association. The entry into force of the proposed provisions for dissolution of a local organizational unit (with legal personality) of an association will obscure the relationship between these provisions and the general principles of dissolution of association. The author also points to the incompatibility of the proposed provisions to repeal resolutions of the association’s bodies by the court to the general provisions of civil law. In his opinion, the bill should more specifically regulate some aspects of the process of associations transitions or mergers. Further legislative work on the bill is needed.

He examines in detail those provisions of the bill which – in his opinion – raise serious doubts and require improvement. The author also points out to minor faults in the field of legislation techniques.

The purpose of the bill is to implement in Poland of Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2011/83/EU of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, According to the author, the implementation of the proposed bill would lead to unification and consolidation of legal provisions relating to consumer protection and introduce the desired changes in provisions governing warranty and quality guarantees. Nevertheless, he claims that the bill needs some work which would secure terminological consistency and efficiency of the proposed provisions.

The subject of the analysis is to examine the proposal for adoption of the institution of investigating judge, which would be the judicial authority for the review of the legality of the functioning of prosecutor’s office and the Police in the preparatory stage and responsible for consolidating evidence for the court. The author makes remarks of historical nature and provides a comparative‑law survey on the functioning of investigative judges. However, none of the countries covered by the analysis has adopted the model of the investigating judge, that exists – in its classic form – in France and Belgium, and the reforms implemented in some countries show the abolition of the institution of investigating judge. The bill does not present the arguments in support of the need for adoption of the institution of the investigating judge and contains no indication as to the paucity of protection of individual rights in the preparatory proceedings, nor does it identify deficiencies of the protection of individual rights in the preparatory proceedings. The sponsors of the bill do not note that the interrogation record serves a guarantee function, and its content is certified by people participating in the activity. An official note made by the interviewer does not provide it because it is not free from subjectivity, and particularly – may be blamed for acting in pursuit of self‑interest in the course of proceedings.

The bill makes it more possible to achieve the aim which is to provide for the possibility of debt adjustment of natural persons and the reduction or complete removal of barriers to access to debt adjustment. Despite a favorable assessment of the bill as a whole, the author points out the violation of the principle of equal protection of property rights and the principle of equality, which are enshrined in the Constitution. Moreover, the proposed Article 4917 does not dispel the doubts that have been reported by the doctrine in relation to the admissibility of its application to tax lien.

The author of the opinion favours the Senate initiative to encompass the procedure for examination of petitions in a separate statute. The right to submit petitions, along with and the right to file proposals and complaints, are contained in the Article 63 of the Constitution. The author presents several arguments justifying the need for a comprehensive settlement of the procedure for examination of petitions in a manner separate from the procedure of handling complaints and requests regulated in the Code of Administrative Procedure. She also expresses reservations about the proposed bill, which concern the way in which the right of petition is regulated, and undue extended deadline for consideration of the petition.
