The article presents the evolution of cassation complaint in Polish civil procedure. The author describes the nature of this appellate measure and the requirements of its admissibility. Aditionally, the text provides an insight into a preliminary procedure designed to select cassation complaints, which will be subsequently examined by the Supreme Court on the merits. The author depicts the evolution of Polish cassation into an extraordinary appellate measure and analyses how it has affected access to the Supreme Court. He argues that the preliminary acceptance procedure does not constitute a limitation of the admissibility of the cassation complaint. It is an additional, independent instrument regulating access to the Supreme Court. In his view, selection of admissible complaints with regard to preliminary acceptance is a better solution than developing limitations related to the admissibility of cassation complaints. The author concludes that requirements for cassation complaints are high and difficult to fulfil. The special character of cassation complaint, the relevance of the institution of preliminary selection, as well as other limitations, justify the thesis that Polish procedural law provides only a narrow access to the Supreme Court.

The text focuses on the problem of limiting access to the Italian Corte di cassazione. According to the author, the access to cassation court is considered a constitutional right in Italy and should not be subject to restrictions. This point of view is supported by the jurisprudence of the Italian Constitutional Court, which abolished the obligation to file a money deposit in 1977. As a consequence, the access to the Corte di cassazione turns out to be limitless. This state of affairs results in a significant backlog of the Court, which deals with circa 30,000 cases on an annual basis. The requirement of obligatory legal representation does not decrease the number of cassations, given a vast number of specialised attorneys who are authorised to act before Corte di cassazione. In order to deal with the increasing number of cassations, a new chamber of the Court was created in order to assess the admissibility of cassation. Nonetheless, it did not significantly affect the influx of cases, nor did it improve duration of the proceedings.
