The paper concerns selected issues related to parliamentary procedures. The primary aim is to investigate a particular category of motions, defined by rules of procedure of the Polish parliament as points of order (literally “formal motions”). In Poland, points of order are recognised as a separate category of motions. They may be submitted only in respect of matters being the subject of the orders of the day or the proceedings in a sitting and include, inter alia, motions to: suspend, postpone or close the sitting; close the discussion; alter the procedure of the discussion; close the list of speakers; limit the time of speeches; confirm a quorum. The authors examine how motions of similar subject scope are regulated in foreign national parliaments.

The discussed Article specifies the acceptable subject matter of points of order. The assumption that they may concern matters being the subject of orders of the day and the course of sittings means that the subject matter of the point of order cannot become a matter to be considered in the future, i.e. during any of subsequent sittings. In the author’s opinion, it is in principle unacceptable to submit pro futuro points of order. Article 184 para. 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm refers only to the subject of the point of order and not to the motives of the motion submitted by the applicant. This means that, on justifying the point of order, a Deputy may rely on external circumstances, i.e. not related to a group of matters considered by the Sejm during a given sitting.
