The opinion contains information about application of collective redundancy process in relation to persons granted leave to perform the duties of a Member of Parliament. Individual redundancy for reasons not related to an employee, made under Article 10 of the Collective Redundancies Act, provided that these are the sole reasons for redundancy (i.e. termination of employment contract by notice or by mutual consent of the parties), does not justify exclusion of particular protection afforded by Article 31 of the Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator.

Secondly, if it is an image of a well-known person when the picturei refers to its public functions. It is also allowed to publish images of pedestrians or people assembled in a street demonstration.

However, it is not prohibited to indicate them. Alimony for the benefit of a former spouse, children (both minor and adult ones) or other relatives of a Deputy should be disclosed in the point XI (money liabilities valued at over 10.000 PLN) of the financial statement. Income from rented apartment – unless it is a lease carried out within economic activity – shall be considered as “engagement” for the purpose of the financial declaration. It should be disclosed in the Deputy’s financial statement.

It is a special type of employment called a “systemic” or “constitutional“ one.

Under the law, in relation to expiry of the mandate a parliamentarian is entitled to a severance pay in the amount of three salaries. The right does not apply to a Deputy or Senator who has been elected for the next term or who has resigned.

In the author’s opinion, the Sejm is not an entity performing public tasks, in particular carrying out tasks related to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19. The Deputies are not “units providing security and public order”, such as police, Border Guard or special forces. Consequently, their children do not have the right to attend kindergartens during the restrictions in force regarding the functioning of kindergartens caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The author denotes that educational activities, carried out on the basis of the Act of the system of education, is subject to a supervision of a curator. Responsibility of a body running a school for a damage done because of unlawful actions of educational staff during a time of performing their duties is not related with a fault. Educational activity, not including running a school, an educational post, a complex or other form of pre-school education, can be conducted in accordance with rules stipulated in the act on freedom of establishment, as an economic activity. In such cases provisions from the Act on System of Education do not find application. Business entities conducting classes with children are not absolved from responsibility for children during such events. Such responsibility is formed on basic rules, interpreted from civil law and a contract between the entity and a child’s parents. A responsibility described in provisions of penal law is also possible in case of certain circumstances justifying it.

When it comes to the income received from tenancy or lease the vital thing is to qualify them as an economic activities. If the tenancy or lease are undertaken by a Deputy on a large scale what allows to qualify that activity as an economic activity, the Deputy is deprived of the right to salary.

The conflict between the protection of authors’ work and their right to financial benefits on the one hand and a demand for broad access to cultural goods on the other requires the existence of regulations concerning fair use rules (both personal and public).The bill, however, raises doubts about the compatibility with Article 64 paragraph 1, in conjunction with Article 31 paragraph 3, of the Constitution.

There is doubt as to whether the bill is consistent with international conventions.
