The authors discuss the issue of liability for violations of construction law. They analyse types of liability and sanctions for such violations. They discuss the professional, administrative and criminal liability of participants in the construction process for violation of regulations, as well as civil liability for improper performance of contractual obligations. They also discuss civil liability of the State Treasury in the event of an illegal administrative decision issued by public administration bodies, as well as civil, disciplinary and criminal liability, and – in a particular situation of gross violation of the law – also the personal property liability of officers of these authorities.

The subject of the study is the issue of freedom of construction, shown against the background of obligations relating to the maintenance of buildings. The source of building freedom is the constitutional principle of property protection, which provides the owner with protection against unlawful infringement of his rights and excessive power of public administration bodies. However, the exercise of building freedom does not mean complete freedom in the use of the building structure, because it has its limits outlined in the implementation of the values indicated in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The study analyses the compliance of obligations concerning the maintenance of building structures with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.

Author’s supervision is an institution causing much controversy and many questions as to the manner and extent of supervision of concluding contracts, interpretation of the obligations which are incumbent on the designer and it is justified to make an attempt at its characterization on the basis of current law and issued jurisprudence. Its understanding is all the more difficult because it combines two areas of law — administrative law and civil law. Adesigner conducting author’s supervision is an independent technical function in construction and has in this respect certain rights as well as statutory obligations. Because of this, he/she is subject to both civil liability, which manifests itself in liability for failing to execute or insufficient execution of the author’s supervision agreement, as well as, perhaps more importantly, professional liability in construction, in case of evading conducting the supervision or negligence in performing duties. The very notion of “designer” has its legal implications, which are presented in the article. Therefore, the author’s supervision is avery interesting matter from alegal point of view, whose proper understanding is necessary in order to avoid being exposed to negative consequences that may arise from alack of or improper supervision in the course of investment.

Polish construction law refers to the public interest in an indirect way, which consists primarily of value within a framework of security. The concept of security in construction law covers a range of issues and is a term quite wide. The special importance of safety results from its fundamental importance for society. The need to ensure security in the construction industry, leads to the need to balance the public interest and the individual. Respecting the public interest expressed in security, it is an essential prerequisite for restrictions on freedom of construction. In addition, in the context of general security, the article presents relevant solutions resulting from the German and English model.

The author has attempted to outline the issue of housing and the evolution of housing policy in Galicia at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. Such factors as considerable demographical development in this part of Polish lands in the second half of 19th century and the need to improve the living conditions of the indigent forced the state authorities and autonomous Galician authorities to address the matter. In the Habsburg Monarchy, of which Galicia was a crown land, the public authorities became aware of the housing problem only after the beginning of 20th century. Recognising the need to improve housing conditions, the Austrian government implemented housing reform in a few ways, e.g. they introduced tax allowances and proper legal regulations. Beyond legislative activity, both authorities also took the step of building houses with cheap apartments for their own officials (of different categories) and employees. Municipalities supported the cheap housing associations that had emerged – either by concessions while giving up their own properties, or by joining these organisations as a member. Despite increased activity on the part of state authorities in housing policy and considerable involvement in different public institutions, the housing issue in Galicia remained unsolved. However, the housing conditions changed for the better, especially in bigger cities.

The problems and prospects of development of the modern Georgian Construction Law are reviewed in the article. Negative tendencies of the construction coefficient trading and negative influence of the above practice in the urban construction are discussed as a problem. In connection with the above, the non-uniform court practice makes the vague legal grounds of coefficient trading even more obscure. The article reviews the legislative changes aimed at bureaucracy reduction implemented in the Georgian Construction Law which brought negative results in addition to positive aspects. In particular, the authorities issuing permits do not approve the structural designs, do not evaluate the competence of the geological survey and more importantly, the quality of construction materials is not checked. Within the framework of the same reform, the regulation obligating to observe the standards of sun exposure and natural lighting for adjacent buildings during construction was revoked since 2008. It is mentioned in the article that the above deregulation, as well as vague legislative regulations cause devaluation of the cost of adjacent buildings of the construction. The authors of the article equalize this fact to indirect expropriation with the difference that no compensation is paid for restoration of their rights and the affected citizens have to engage in procrastinated litigations. Precedents from the court practice are reviewed in the article on this issue which make it clear that the documents issued by administrative authorities are often unsubstantiated. The prospects of the reform of the Georgian construction legislation and Code of Spatial Planning and Construction of Georgia are reviewed in the article.

There are more and more buildings whose complexity, with regard to technology and construction, makes it difficult to qualify them to the category of a structure on the basis of the criteria set forth in Article 3, item 3 of the Construction Law. In the years 2012-2015, the Supreme Audit Office conducted several audits in which the key issue was to decide whether the audit subject is related to a structure. In his article, the author presents examples related to selected buildings whose qualification as a structure raised interpretation doubts in the light of Article 3, item 3 of the Construction Law. This led to the latitude and the lack of unified stance of architecture and construction administration bodies, and construction supervision bodies in the application of the law, and consequently – to significant doubts in evaluation of the audited activities.

In literature, it is difficult to find a complete analysis of the legal nature of the investor’s supervision. Following the trend of implementation of construction projects in Poland for ever greater complexity and our growing concern for the environment, proper analysis of the investor’s supervision institutions seems to be helpful for the legal establishment and implementation of this supervision. To get analyzed legal institution, should be thoroughly characterize the rights and obligations of the investor’s supervision inspector — an entity exercising supervisory functions implemented during the construction process. Look to be both that which gives him the Act — Construction Law (representing about public character of performed duties), and also due to the contracticity of his supervision concluded between it and an investor of civil contracts, which can be modified to some extent his statutory supervisory functions. Investor’s supervision is an institution that requires legal interpretation, carried out with extreme accuracy, caused the undisputed role that can be attributed to the investor’s supervision inspector, to comply with the regulations and technical knowledge of the process of construction. Only her understanding of guarantees to avoid the negative consequences resulting from misapplication of the law in this regard.

The article addresses special conditions sanctioning demolition of buildings and structures erected without a permit on the state-owned land parcel restricted for construction according to the Georgian legislation and the practice of suspension of enforcement proceedings of similar resolutions by the court. It reviews the regulation envisaged by part 4 of Article 25 of Product Safety and Free Movement Code, according to which buildings constructed on state and/or self-governing unit-owned land parcels are subject to demolition and an appeal of the resolution on demolition does not suspend its enforcement. Despite the above, within the procedural legislation, the court suspends the enforcement process in the part of demolition. The article assesses the prospective of placing such buildings and structures within the legal framework in the future (compliance with the general plan, functional zoning, rules of development and use of the territory), i.e. their eligibility for obtaining a permit in deciding on the suspension/non-suspension of the demolition enforcement process. In Georgian practice, this factor is not accen­tuated by the construction control body when making a resolution on demolition, nor does the court evaluate it, which is the most significant circumstance in the process of making and enforcing such type of resolutions. Examples from the Polish and German practice where a permit allowing illegal buildings and structures to be admitted (as complying with the substantive con­struction law) is one of the most significant preconditions for making a resolution regarding demolition are presented and discussed. The circumstances to be considered in the course of suspension by the court of demolition of buildings and structures illegally constructed on state and/or self-governing unit-owned land parcels are also described, and legislative changes/ amended regulations for the sake of avoidance of procrastination of such type of demolitions have been recommended.

The gloss is concerns the judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of 31 August 2017 (II OSK 3025/15), which states that when determining the circle of parties to administrative proceedings in matters related to the issue of a building permit, any influence on neighboring properties should be taken into consideration generally applicable laws may mean limiting the owners in the exercise of their rights. In the light of the Supreme Administrative Court's judgment, the parties to the proceedings should be preceded by an analysis of many provisions, including the provisions of the Civil Code, if the property is exposed to immissions.

W świetle orzeczenia NSA, ustalenie stron postępowania powinno być poprzedzone analizą wielu przepisów, w tym przepisów Kodeksu cywilnego, jeżeli nieruchomość jest narażona na immisje.

The aim of the article is to present the procedure for amicable settlement of the dispute contained in the FIDIC Conditions of Contract, hereinafter FIDIC. Entrepreneurs in the construction industry more and more often see the positive aspects of using amicable dispute resolution methods, in particular the solutions contained in FIDIC. The regulations on amicable settlement contained in the FIDIC make it possible to minimize the potential damage that may arise in the event of a dispute arising during the implementation of a construction investment. It should be emphasized that FIDIC transparently determines the course of proceedings before the Contract Engineer or the Conciliation Committee, which allows the parties to take into account the time necessary to resolve a potential dispute. In addition, the professionalism of entities performing arbitration functions is a guarantee of reaching an agreement acceptable to all parties to the contract.

The subject of the principles of construction law is the starting point for the detailed considerations regarding particular legislation and the correctness of decisions maturing in the construction process. Separation of the principles of construction law aims not only impact on the behavior of certain actors towards further specific behaviors, but what it's worth noting, are used to introduce specific values, which are subject to special protection in the construction process.

Tematyka zasad prawa budowlanego stanowi punkt wyjścia do szczegółowych rozważań, związanych z treścią poszczególnych przepisów prawnych oraz prawidłowością rozstrzygnięć zapadających w procesie budowlanym. Wyodrębnienie zasad prawa budowlanego ma na celu nie tylko oddziaływanie na zachowanie określonych podmiotów w kierunku podjęcia określonych zachowań, ale co warto zauważyć, zasady te służą do wprowadzenia określonych wartości, które są przedmiotem szczególnej ochrony w procesie budowlanym.

Od 2017 roku właściciele farm wiatrowych zapłacą podatek od całości obiektu, czyli zarówno od fundamentów, masztów, ale również od całości wyposażenia technologicznego. Dotychczas elektrownie wiatrowe były dzielone na części budowlaną oraz niebudowlaną, która nie podlegała opodatkowaniu jako budowla.

This paper concerns the protection of fundamental values such as security, as well as public, architectural, and spatial order. These values can already be seen through the prism of restrictions on freedom of the construction. The protection of these values is particularly valuable for society and is one of the characteristics attributed to the construction police. Important role in this area is entrusted to the construction police, an institution associated with identifying and preventing threats affecting the overall safety and order in the construction industry.

Niniejsze opracowanie dotyczy ochrony podstawowych wartości, takich jak bezpieczeństwo, porządek publiczny i ład architektoniczno-przestrzenny. Wartości te można dostrzec już przez pryzmat ograniczeń wolności budowlanej. Ich ochrona jest szczególnie cenna dla społeczeństwa i stanowi jedną z właściwości przypisywanych policji budowlanej. Doniosłą rolę w tym zakresie powierza się jej jako instytucji związanej z ustaleniem i przeciwdziałaniem zagrożeniom naruszającym ogólne bezpieczeństwo i ład w budownictwie.

In 2021, the Czech Parliament approved a new Construction Act, No. 283/2021 Coll., and the related so-called Amendment Act, No. 284/2021 Coll., as part of the recodification of public construction law. The new legislation introduced significant changes in environmental law, which, if they were to take effect, would have a negative impact on both the environmental law system and its practical application. Indeed, the recodification of public construction law in its original wording of 2021 had the potential to weaken the ability to promote the public interest in environmental protection in the processes of permitting construction and other projects. However, even before the new Construction Law came into force, the Parliament adopted laws in 2023 in which the Ministry of the Environment enforced the concept of maintaining the regulation of environmental protection bodies and the enforcement of the public interest in protection of individual environmental components, albeit at the cost that in early 2024 a substantial part of individual decision-making procedures in environmental protection in connection with the application of the public construction law will undergo substantial procedural and organisational changes. The paper aims to reflect on whether and how the principles of environmental law are reflected in the recodification of public construction law.

V roce 2021 schválil Parlament v rámci rekodifikace veřejného stavebního práva nový stavební zákon č. 283/2021 Sb. a s ním související tzv. změnový zákon č. 284/2021 Sb. Nová legislativa zavedla v oblasti práva životního prostředí značné změny, které by v případě nabytí účinnosti měly negativní dopad jak na systém práva životního prostředí, tak i na jeho praktickou aplikaci. Rekodifikace veřejného stavebního práva v původním znění z roku 2021 totiž měla potenciál oslabit možnosti prosazování veřejného zájmu na ochraně životního prostředí v procesech povolování stavebních a jiných záměrů. Parlament však ještě před účinností nového stavebního zákona přijal v roce 2023 zákony, ve kterých Ministerstvo životního prostředí prosadilo koncepci zachování úpravy orgánů ochrany životního prostředí a prosazování veřejného zájmu na úseku ochrany jednotlivých složek životního prostředí, i když za cenu, že počátkem roku 2024 podstatná část individuálních rozhodovacích postupů v oblasti ochrany životního prostředí v souvislosti s uplatňováním veřejného stavebního práva dozná podstatných procesních a organizačních změn. Příspěvek si klade za cíl zamyslet se nad tím, zda a jak se promítají v rámci rekodifikace veřejného stavebního práva principy práva životního prostředí.

Presented analysis of the proposed changes, contained in the draft, provide an image of the future Polish construction law, which in some parts differs from the current one. In addition to changes in the names of some institutions, special attention should be paid to the reform of the structure of the construction supervision bodies, which seems to have far-reaching effects, particularly those measurable financially. Many of the problems observed today have not yet seen the required solutions, while others have only been solved casually without reaching their essence. Worrying is the conservatism of the Codification Committee in the use of such concepts as public interest, common good, or spatial order and lack of attempts at a redefinition. The project does not seem to correspond to the code requirement of universality, regulating matters that should be included in separate acts, and omittng those worth including in the code. Substantiated is the fear that the proposed provisions of the draft code will in effect lead to a permanent state of helplessness of the bodies which, as yet, have poorly interpreted the new standard. The code may not pass the first trial and may deprive investors of hope for a better quality of Polish construction law. Expected changes may not come, and it will be difficult for a discussion and amendment of the act which has just been discussed and adopted.

Przedmiotem opracowania jest zagadnienie wolności budowlanej, ukazanej na tle obowiązków odnoszących się do utrzymania obiektów budowlanych. Źródłem wolności budowlanej jest konstytucyjna zasada ochrony własności, zapewniająca właścicielowi ochronę przed bezprawnym naruszeniem jego prawa i nadmiernym władztwem organów administracji publicznej. Jednakże korzystanie z wolności budowlanej nie oznacza zupełnej swobody w użytkowaniu obiektu budowlanego, bowiem ma ona swoje granice zakreślone w realizacji wartości wskazanych w Konstytucji RP. W opracowaniu została dokonana analiza zgodności obowiązków dotyczących utrzymania obiektów budowlanych z Konstytucją RP.

The subject of the study is the issue of freedom construction, shown against the background of obligations related to the maintenance of buildings. The source of freedom construction is the constitutional principle of ownership, which provides the owner with protection against the unlawful violation of his right and the excessive authority of the public administration. However, the use of the freedom of construction does not mean complete freedom in the use of the building, because it has its boundaries in the realization of the values indicated in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. An analysis of the conformity of obligations concerning the maintenance of buildings objects with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland was carried out.

The issue raised in the article applies to determine whether it is possible to exempt from criminal liability of the person who sent to perform some duties associated with the law of its function performed by another person in the event of such failure to comply with these obligations by the person performing them, that results in the fulfillment of the criminal offense. The relevance of issues raised due to the fact of being bound by the law of some functions such a wide range of duties that the reliable performance of all these duties by one person which performs this function, is not possible, which forces the transfer of some tasks to other people. No transfer in the wake of the criminal responsibility can lead to the situation where the person liable, despite exercising due diligence in the exercise of its functions, which is expressed in the transfer of some of responsibilities, which is not able to perform on his own to other competent bodies, can still be held criminally liable for their improper performance. This situation can cause that criminal liability would be in place of strictly individual responsibility, based on the guilt of the individual, to whom the requirements of a specific behavior were made, foreign to criminal liability responsibility for risk. It should be noted that in some cases legal regulations explicitly exclude the possibility of exemption from liability by the transfer of certain tasks to a third party. Usually, however, there is no regulation in this area which allows for the analysis of the issues raised based on the assumptions underlying the criminal law. The article analyzes the problem based on examples of regulation in civil law with particular emphasis on tort liability, commercial law, construction law, labor law, accounting law and pharmaceutical law. The conclusions indicated the extent to which effective transfer of responsibilities to another person or just entrust another person to perform certain duties assigned to the function of the person liable, may modify the scope of the criminal responsibility of the entity. The raised issue of delegation of duties tested for formal reasons associated with this activity as well as one of the most important bases of criminal responsibility, which is a violation of the prudent (rational) behavior. Admissibility of delegating a part of one’s duties to another entity does not eliminate the problem of criminal responsibility for failure to comply with them by the required person that whether wasn’t diligent enough in choosing an entity to whom he passed his duties, or did not show even a small range of interest to the actual and proper execution of these duties by this entity.

The idea of the freedom of construction encompasses this value as a derivative of the property right and finds its guarantees in the regulations of the Constitution. In the doctrine as well as in the judgements of the Polish Constitutional Court and administrative courts, this kind of freedom occurs traditionally in two aspects: from the perspective of a subject – as a fundamental rule in the process of investment and from the perspective of an object – as a right to construct. Contemporary extensive system of administrative regulation in the construction law with the construction permit as a central legal measure, causes for thought regarding the existence and the essence of the freedom of construction, including its role in the process of making and applying the law as well as in the system of the judicial control of the public administration. This issue is analysed from the perspective of the universal problem, which is the relation between the freedom of the individual and the law.

Klasyczna koncepcja wolności budowlanej ujmuje tę wartość jako pochodną prawa własności nieruchomości, a jej gwarancji upatruje w przepisach Konstytucji. W polskiej doktrynie i orzecznictwie sądowym z zakresu prawa administracyjnego wolność ta występuje tradycyjnie w dwóch aspektach: przedmiotowym (jako zasada prawa) oraz podmiotowym (jako publiczne prawo podmiotowe). Współczesny rozbudowany system reglamentacji w prawie budowlanym, w którym centralną instytucją nadal pozostaje pozwolenie na budowę, skłania do refleksji nad istnieniem i istotą wolności budowlanej, w tym jej rolą w procesie stanowienia i stosowania prawa, a także sądowej kontroli administracji publicznej. Problem ten jest ukazany z perspektywy szerszego zagadnienia, jakim jest relacja pomiędzy wolnością jednostki a prawem.

Wolność budowlana jest jedną z podstawowych zasad procesu inwestycyjno-budowlanego. Wyraża prawo do zabudowy gruntów i wynika z chronionego konstytucyjnie prawa własności. Prawo administracyjne wprowadza instrumenty ograniczające wolność budowlaną ze względu na ochronę interesu publicznego oraz interesów osób trzecich. Od kilku lat trwa dyskusja na temat deregulacji procesu inwestycyjno-budowlanego, której istotą byłoby uproszczenie i skrócenie procedur. Artykuł przedstawia dotychczasowe próby deregulacji, uwzględniając ograniczenie zakresu pojęcia strony w postępowaniach z zakresu prawa budowlanego, nieudaną próbę deregulacji, podjętą w 2009 r. i zablokowaną przez wyrok Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, a także toczące się prace nad założeniami do projektu nowego prawa budowlanego i zmian w ustawie o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym.

Freedom of the building is one of the basic principles of investment and construction process. It expresses the right to develop real estate according to constitutionally protected property rights. Administrative law limits the freedom of the building due to the protection of public and third parties interests. For several years there has been a discussion on the deregulation of investment and construction process, the essence of which would be procedures simplification and shortening. The paper presents several attempts of deregulation, including constraint of range of parties to the proceedings of construction law, an unsuccessful attempt to deregulation taken in 2009 and blocked by the Constitutional Court’s decision, as well as ongoing preliminary work on the guidelines for new construction law and amendments in zoning law.
