This article is an attempt to show the consequences of differences in regulations on Public Prosecutor’s supervision over proceedings as provided for by the Penal Fiscal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, from the perspective of good law characteristics. On the basis of selected regulations, the author attempts to demonstrate that the marginal supervision of the Public Prosecutor over the investigation in the penal fiscal proceedings as provided for in the legislation contradicts the clarity, coherence and effectiveness of law. The differentiation between solutions adopted in this respect gives rise to problems with normative regulations based on the Penal Fiscal Code and makes the regulations inconsistent with other legislation: the Act of 28 January 2016 - Law on the Prosecutor’s Office and the Act of 17 June 2004 - on complaint regarding infringement of the party’s right to examine the case in preparatory proceedings conducted or supervised by a prosecutor and court proceedings without unreasonable delay. Further, in the content of the article the author refers to selected legislation applicable also to investigation regulated by the penal fiscal proceeding regulations. They serve as an example to demonstrate the thesis that the differentiation introduced in this respect in the legislation is entirely unreasonable as compared to the related regulations of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The analysis of those regulations proves that there is no system-related or legal argumentation that would justify this kind of exceptions. In the conclusions drawn on the basis of the analyses carried out in the article, the author states that the introduction of different regulations in the Penal Fiscal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure as regards the Public Prosecutor’s supervision over the investigation conducted by the financial authority responsible for preparatory proceedings and some exceptions in respect of investigations does not fulfil the requirements of good law.
The issue of the unification of law in the Second Polish Republic after regaining independence gained a significant response in the pages of Warsaw legal magazines, such as: Gazeta Sądowa Warszawska, Kwartalnik Prawa Cywilnego i Karnego or Palestra. The opinions of jurists varied significantly, including different postulates concerning priority branches of law for unification. However, a large part of the doctrine indicated civil law as a priorate for unification, in terms of the correctness of legal transactions. Moreover, lawyers criticized state authorities for their passivity in codifying process. In their opinion, the ministries should systematize and translate into Polish the legal acts in force in the areas of each former partition. The greatest challenge in this regard concerned the former Kingdom of Poland and the Russian partition, where normative acts were published in various promulgation journals. There were also doubts about the territorial scope of these provisions. Moreover, attention was drawn to the lack of communication between the ministries which did not communicate with each other when preparing ad hoc draft legal acts, which was contrary to the principle of legal consistency.

Kwestia unifikacji prawa w II Rzeczypospolitej po odzyskaniu niepodległości znalazła znaczący oddźwięk w warszawskich pismach prawniczych, takich jak „Gazeta Sądowa Warszawska”, „Kwartalnik Prawa Cywilnego i Karnego” czy „Palestra”. Na ich łamach przedstawiciele doktryny wysuwali swoje postulaty dotyczące gałęzi prawa, które wymagają działań priorytetowych pod kątem unifikacji. Znaczna część doktryny prawniczej wskazywała prawo cywilne jako dziedzinę do możliwie jak najszybszego ujednolicenia, gdyż zapewniłoby to prawidłowość obrotu prawnego. Ponadto juryści krytykowali władze państwowe za bierność w procesie kodyfikacji. Ich zdaniem ministerstwa powinny usystematyzować i przetłumaczyć na język polski akty normatywne obowiązujące na obszarach każdego byłego zaboru. Największe wyzwanie w tym zakresie dotyczyło dawnego Królestwa Polskiego i zaboru rosyjskiego, gdzie akty prawne publikowano w różnych dziennikach promulgacyjnych. Wątpliwości budził także zasięg terytorialny tych przepisów. Ponadto zwracano uwagę na brak komunikacji pomiędzy ministerstwami, które nie konsultowały się ze sobą w związku z przygotowywaniem ad hoc projektów aktów prawnych, co jest sprzeczne z zasadą spójności systemu prawnego.
