The article presents the concept of the secondary unconstitutionality of law from the perspective of a few issues in legal interpretation. The notion of the secondary unconstitutionality is commonly described as a situation when a legal norm is viewed as inconsistent with the Constitution in the light of the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal which concerned similar legal problem. The aim of the article is to indicate the scope of the possible interpretation of the norm as secondarily unconstitutional. In the first place author considers the influence of the dominant in Poland linguistic conception of a legal norm to the possibility of application of the notion of the secondary unconstitutionality. Next, it is worth underlying that the analyzed concept is often used to justify the omission of the valid legal norm by the court. This issue needs to be studied from two perspectives. Firstly, it is necessary to describe the relationship between the principle of the presumption of constitutionality and the concept of the secondary unconstitutionality. It has to be explained that this presumption is assigned to every valid legal norm which hasn’t been adjudged as ‘unconstitutional’ by the Constitutional Tribunal. That is why the main aim is to answer whether the competence to omit the valid norm is consistent with the principle of the presumption of constitutionality. The second issue refers to the principle of the direct application of the Constitution. Although this principle usually justifies the interpretation of a provision in accordance with the Constitution, in this article it has to be considered whether the principle of the direct application of the Constitution also allows the court to omit the provision in this specific situation of the secondary unconstitutionality.

W niniejszym artykule kwestia relacji między polską Konstytucją a prawem Unii Europejskiej jest analizowana z perspektywy ewolucji jej kształtowania w orzecznictwie Trybunału Konstytucyjnego. W pierwszej kolejności przedmiotem analizy są przepisy konstytucyjne definiujące relację między Konstytucją i prawem UE. Ta część artykułu zawiera również rozważania na temat podstaw prawnych najpowszechniej wykorzystywanego instrumentu kształtującego tę relację – prounijnej wykładni Konstytucji. W kolejnych częściach artykułu badane są przypadki, w których Trybunał Konstytucyjny w swoim orzecznictwie odwołuje się do systemu prawa unijnego. Przeprowadzona analiza koncentruje się na instrumentach, które zapobiegają konfliktom między prawem UE i Konstytucją, w tym instrumentom wymuszającym aktywność legislacyjną oraz instrumentom interpretacyjnym. Przedmiotem analizy w artykule jest również ustosunkowanie się do ww. metod w ostatnich kontrowersyjnych orzeczeniach TK o sygn. akt P 20/07 oraz sygn. akt K 3/21 dotyczących relacji między polską Konstytucją i prawem Unii Europejskiej, które zasadniczo zrywają z dotychczasową tendencją orzeczniczą w tym zakresie.

In the article, the issue of the relationship between the Polish Constitution and European Union law is analysed from the perspective of its shaping in the adjudication of the Constitutional Tribunal. Firstly, the constitutional regulations that define the relationship between the Constitution and EU law will be analysed. This part of the article also includes the issues relating to the legal basis of the most commonly used instrument that shapes this relationship – the EU-friendly interpretation of the Constitution. Secondly, the contexts in which the Constitutional Tribunal refers to EU law are examined. The case study that is undertaken focuses on the instruments that prevent conflicts between EU law and the Constitution, inter alia legislative and interpretative instruments. The application of these methods in recent controversial judgments Ref. no. P 20/07 and Ref. no. K 3/21 concerning the relationship between the Polish Constitution and the EU law will be analysed.
