The opinion presents Sejm’s draft position in the proceedings before the Constitutional Tribunal in relation to the constitutional complaint (ref. No. SK 28/12) concerning the Code of Civil Procedure. The author claims that the challenged Article 378 §1 of the Code, to the extent that it requires the court of second instance to take into account – by the operation of law – the nullity of legal proceedings resulting from improper authorization of an attorney only within the “scope of appeal”, is consistent with Article 45 (1) and Article 77(2) of the Constitution.

The proposed amendment provides for the notary to be granted the status of a public official. The drafters do not address issues related to a notary’s business activities or his “status of entrepreneur”. The draft amendment does not contain a prohibition on running a chancellery or conducting business in genere. The form of the proposed changes does not allow to conclude that the intention of the drafters was to “depart” from the current solutions. Moreover there are no legal regulations establishing a general prohibition on the performance of business activities by public officials. Inclusion of notaries in the category of public officers will not result in the application to them of limitations arising from the Act on Restrictions on Conduct of Business Activities by Persons Performing Public Functions.

The Act on Animal Protection provides for a general ban on commercial breeding of dogs and cats, with an exclusion of animal husbandries registered in national organisations whose statutory purpose is to breed pedigree dogs and cats. There are no provisions in the Act specifying ’animal welfare standards in husbandries’, but nevertheless it imposes a number of obligations on animal owners as such, e.g. the obligation to provide appropriate living conditions and the obligation to meet the basic needs of animals. The statute defines what is meant by animal abuse and indicates the sanctions for such an offence.

A Deputy may not obtain information from the National Labour Inspectorate under Article 19 of the Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator. However, he or she may exercise the right to obtain information or explanations from representatives of the relevant state and local government bodies and institutions pursuant to Article 16 of the above Act. It is also possible to use the right of access to public information to obtain information about the activities of the National Labour Inspectorate.

The bill to amend the statute provides for a prohibition of the sale of the listed drinks to persons under 18 years of age on the premises of schools and other units of the educational system and in vending machines. The implementation of the proposed bans requires an analysis and a substantive decision, in particular regarding the harmfulness of drinks containing caffeine or taurine when consumed by minors. The possibility of achieving the required objective with the use of other measures should be considered. The proposed regulations determining criminal liability for noncompliance with the prohibitions on the advertising and sale of such drinks may be considered disproportionately harsh, as both their advertising and sale will be punished more severely than the advertising or sale of alcohol.

According to the author, creating the possibility of selling real estate by means of an electronic auction should be considered advisable and the direction of the adopted solutions should be generally assessed positively. Some of the proposed solutions need to be clarified or re-examined. Accepting the necessity of holding “remote” hearings and public sessions in a “distant” form, particularly during the state of epidemic danger or the state of epidemics, seems to be a correct solution. On the other hand the proposed regulations regarding the possibility of holding a closed hearing, are questionable. Changes concerning the possibility of communicating with the court by electronic means should, in principle, be considered desirable. However, the form of the proposed solutions – especially concerning electronic delivery – raises reservations

The obligation to provide maintenance is created ex lege, regardless of parties’ will. Both the maintenance obligation and the corresponding right to maintenance are strictly personal and inalienable. However, it is possible to conclude a contract between the obligee and the obligor concerning the maintenance obligation.

This draft position of the Sejm concerns the constitutional complaint of 22 April 2013. In the proposed draft position the author claims that the contested Article 102 of the Code of Civil Procedure, insofar as it does not impose on the Treasury an obligation to reimburse the opponent’s costs of the proceedings that have not been awarded from the losing party, is in compliance with Article 45 para. 1 of the Constitution. Proceedings to examine the compatibility of Article 102 of the Code of Civil Procedure with Article 2, Article 32 of the Constitution should be discontinued pursuant to Article 39(1)(1) of the Constitutional Tribunal Act of 1997 in conjunction with Article 134(3) of the Constitutional Tribunal Act of 2015 due to the inadmissibility of the judgment

In the opinion of the author, there are no obstacles to combine the mandate of a Deputy with the status of a limited partner in a limited partnership, in case, in addition to the Deputy the company is to include another limited partner (natural person) and the limited liability company as a general partner, and in a limited liability company the Deputy will neither be a partner, nor will perform any functions related to decision making, and such a limited partnership will be represented only by the general partner.

The existence and scope of maintenance obligations between divorced spouses depend not only on their needs and income and property options, but also on the decision as to the fault for the breakdown of the marriage. Irrespective of the general reasons for the termination of the maintenance obligation as a result of the death of the entitled or obliged person, the Family and Guardianship Code provides for special cases of the termination of the maintenance obligation. The court may, at the request of the entitled person, extend this obligation if “exceptional circumstances” occur. The provisions do not provide for time limits on the obligation to pay maintenance to a spouse who had been found guilty of the breakdown of marriage. This obligation may be a burden for life if the former spouse does not remarry.

In the presented project of a position, the author claims that indicated provisions of the Civil Code, in part which enabled acquisition of a land servitude of similar nature to a transmission servitude through usucaption, before articles 3051–3054 of the Civil Code entered into force, in situation when an administrative decision restricting rights of the owner of the land is non-compatible with provisions of the Constitution. Constitutional protection of the right of ownership requires every restriction of that right to fulfill certain obligations. From a constitutional standpoint, an institution of land servitude is a restriction of the right of ownership. In analyzed case the basis for the restriction provided in an act is of primary importance. The author does not agree with the Supreme Court that the analyzed provisions regulate land servitude. In her opinion, the provisions cannot serve as a basis for a land servitude as an autonomous right (a transmission servitude), and in consequence cannot serve as a basis for a restriction of constitutional right of ownership. According to the author, the analyzed regulation also does not fulfill the criterion of necessity.

The position of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland concerns Article 207 § 3 second sentence in conjunction with § 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP), establishing a procedure for consent by order of the president for bringing further writings preparatory to pleading in the course of the case, and Article 207 § 4 CCP which provides the possibility of an oral hearing of the parties in closed session before the first hearing, if the president call upon the parties to submit additional clarification on the issue, in terms of their compliance with Article 45 para. 1 of the Constitution, which establishes the right to a court hearing. In the author’s view, there should be declared compliance of the above provisions of the Act with the Constitution because in the challenged Article 207 § 4 CCP the lawmaker uses the plural to describe the addressee of the norm, so from this provision it follows an obligation to inform about the meeting and the possibility of participation of both parties, as well as entities acting as a party. Moreover, in support of the declaration of compliance of Article 207 § 3 the author presents the fundamental principles of civil process, such as the concentration of the evidence, judicial consideration of the case without undue delay, and the duty of the court and the parties to smoothly and timely completion of the proceedings. Motion has been made for cancellation of the case due to inadmissibility of the judgment on the basis of Art. 39 para. 1 subpara. 1 of the Constitutional Tribunal Act.

The author presents the groups of entities subject to the so-called Deputies’ oversight and concludes that the Foundation for the Development of the Education System, which was established by the State Treasury, does not belong to any of them. Accordingly, in the author’s opinion, a Deputy may not perform the control activities indicated in the provision in relation to this entity.
