The Polish Constitution provides – in its Article 139 – that the President of the Republic “exercises the right of pardon”. The exact meaning of this right and the nature and extent of the activities to be undertaken by the President are not defined in the basic law, though. One’s understanding of the “right of pardon”, however, must not lead to results that produce an unconstitutional interpretation of the Constitution – and this, I believe, is the case with the interpretation to the effect that the exercise of the right of pardon extends beyond the pardoning itself, i.e. absolving a lawfully convicted person of the punishment meted out to them and of other effects of punishment, and that it also permits individual abolition, i.e. exempting the person concerned from responsibility, thus making criminal proceedings impossible. The President is part of the executive branch of government, and his competences in respect of blocking criminal proceedings must not rest on presumption. Under the Constitution, courts are independent and separate from other branches of government. But there are grounds to interpret the right of pardon, referred to in Article 139 of the Constitution, as encompassing limited individual abolition, where the President exempts a person under a criminal proceeding from the outcome of this proceeding (i.e. a lawful sentence, no longer subject to appeal), but where courts are not exempt from their constitutional responsibilities and where there is no demolishing of the right to fair trial – which in fact is the right to seek the truth, enjoyed by everybody, including the society and the court itself. The criminal trial of a person under individual abolition should be crowned with the passing of a lawful sentence, no longer subject to appeal – but in this case a guilty sentence would not be enforced, because of the right of pardon having been granted prior to the passing of the sentence. Legal disputes over exercise of the right of pardon are, in fact, disputes over application of the Constitution – and this application should be founded on respect for the Constitution as the basic law of the Republic of Poland. An interpretation of the Constitution must not justify practices that threaten the democratic identity of a state governed by the rule of law, such state having been proclaimed by the Constitution itself.

Przedmiot artykułu stanowi analiza naruszenia prawa materialnego jako podstawy wzruszenia orzeczenia w polskim postępowaniu karnym. W opracowaniu przedstawiona została ewolucja historyczna obrazy prawa materialnego jako przyczyny odwoławczej w kolejnych kodyfikacjach karnoprocesowych, począwszy od Kodeksu postępowania karnego z 1928 r. Dokonano przeglądu i analizy orzecznictwa dotyczącego zarzutu obrazy prawa materialnego w sprawach karnych. Pogłębionym rozważaniom poddano kwestię naruszenia prawa materialnego jako podstawy zwyczajnych i nadzwyczajnych środków odwoławczych w procesie karnym. W publikacji przeanalizowano zasadność ujmowania obrazy przepisów prawa materialnego w kategorii bezwzględnej przyczyny odwoławczej. Skonfrontowano także naruszenie prawa materialnego z instytucją rażącej niesprawiedliwości orzeczenia z art. 440 kpk.

The subject of the article is an analysis of a violation of substantive law as the basis for the revocation of a ruling in Polish criminal proceedings. The study presents the historical evolution of the violation of substantive law as an appeal basis in consecutive criminal procedure codifications, starting from the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1928. The paper reviews and analyzes the case law regarding the pleasof theviolation of substantive law in criminal cases. In-depth consideration was given to the violation of substantive law as the basis for ordinary and extraordinary appeals in the criminal proceedings. The publication examines the legitimacy of recognition of violations of substantive law in the category of absolute appeal basis. Also, the violation of substantive law was confronted with the institution of gross injustice of the rulingstemming from Article 440 of Code of Criminal Procedure (kpk).
