A shareholder’s right of access to information concerning a company, in accordance with the Commercial Companies Code, is a form of exercising ownership supervision. The entity exercising the rights attached to the State Treasury shares is obliged to take advantage of this right in order to protect the interests of the State Treasury. Procedures regarding interpellations may be used only to obtain information that the addressee of the interpellation has obtained in the course of ownership supervisions. However, these procedures cannot serve to incurring a binding effect on the exercise of rights relating to ownership supervision.

The opinion is an answer to a question submitted by the Marshal of the Sejm, whether a former Deputy is still entitled to immunity protection in case of acts committed within the scope of the mandate. According to the author, the former Deputy (or a Senator) may be held responsible for actions violating rights of the third persons which took place during the exercise of the mandate of that Deputy, but only upon a permission of an appropriate house of Parliament. The author notes that the loophole in legislation should be filled by an amendment.

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 Act on Counteracting Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism imposes upon obligated institutions (including banks) the obligation, crucial in relation to the other requirements specified in the Act in question, to implement appropriate procedures enabling the identification of clients or their actual beneficiaries as Politically Exposed Persons (PEP). The identification of a client as a PEP status person means that increased financial security measures need to be applied to him/her and his/her family members and close associates on account of potentially greater risk of money laundering, financing of terrorism or corruption. Consequently, in the author’s view and in light of the provisions of the Act on counteracting money laundering, a Sejm Deputy and his/her immediate family members may be obligated by the bank to submit a declaration on the source of the client’s property and assets at the client’s disposal as part of business relationships or transactions.

The author of the opinion indicates that individual guarantee is a non-custodial preventive measure used in the course of criminal proceedings and a trustworthy person is a person who is trustworthy – who guarantees the fulfilment of the obligations imposed on him/her in the bail decision, as well as ensures the fulfilment of procedural obligations imposed on the defendant. The doctrine of criminal procedure indicates that persons who hold functions obtained by direct election, i.e., for example, deputies, senators, or mayors of cities, may become trustworthy persons.

The applicable legislation does not prevent a parliamentarian from organising a fundraising event provided in the form of bank transfers (e.g. via crowdfunding websites) to raise funds for a charitable purpose. However, a collection of funds for such a purpose could not take the form of a “public collection” within the meaning of the Act on the principles of public collections, i.e. a fundraising in the form of cash contributions. Deputies are prohibited from accepting donations that may undermine the confidence of the electorate in their exercise of their mandate for the good of the Nation (Article 33(2) in conjunction with Article 1(1) of the Act on the performance of the mandate of deputy or senator).

The issue under analysis concerns the anonymisation of the data of a natural person to whom the Deputy has a financial obligation. After analysing the provisions of the GDPR, the author concludes that they do not preclude the disclosure of the name of the natural person with regard to whom the liability has arisen and do not provide a legal basis for effectively requesting the Marshal of the Sejm to anonymise the data of private individuals with regard to whom the liability has arisen in the declaration of assets.

Jan Orzelski was actively involved in the political life of the Republic of the Nobles as a member of a regional assembly, a deputy and next a senator. He recorded the history of his family in the work entitled Annales domus Orzelsciae. It was edited by Adam Tytus Działyński on the basis of a manuscript stored in the Kórnik Library together with a family diary Kopia pobożnej pamięci imci Elżbiety Orzelskiej. Annales… consists of two parts: a comprehensive introduction and a chronicle containing annual entries regarding the most important events in Jan Orzelski’s family in the years 1589–1611 (that period being extended to 1618 by adding the diary Kopia pobożnej pamięci…). Much focus in the first part of the Annales... was placed on Stefan Batory’s military campaigns to conquer Polotsk (1579), Velikiye Luki (1580) and Pskov (1581), in which Jan Orzelski took part as a cavalry captain. The author’s intention, however, was not to describe those military campaigns in detail but to present “only some memorable issues”. The Annales... depicts, first of all, the origins of the “family from Orle”, the history and the characteristics of the family members in the male line. The author included his biography as well.

The withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union turned out to be important not only for the citizens of this country but for all Member States of the European Union. One of the important consequences of the notification of the withdrawal from the organization was to determine the constitution of the European Parliament taking into account variants of the moment when Brexit takes effect. The paper analyzes the impact of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union on the conduct of elections and the appointment of seats in the European Parliament. This issue is presented primarily on the example of the elections held in Poland. The first part of the article discusses the procedure for the withdrawal of Great Britain from the EU and related problems. The second part is devoted to the impact of Brexit on the distribution of seats in the EP depending on the moment of Great Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. The third part of the article examines problems associated with the procedure for indicating a Polish representative awaiting his mandate and his status.

The study presents the issue of criminal liability for a crime consisting in providing false information or concealing the truth in asset declaration of a deputy or senator. The author critically analyses categorisation of the crime, discusses the scope of criminalisation and the statutory limits of punishment. It is particularly controversial that a deputy or senator bears significantly more severe responsibility for providing false information or concealing the truth in the asset declaration than – for the same behaviour – other persons holding the highest state offices, e.g. the prime minister or ministers. The inconsistent regulations of the Polish legislator regarding the criminal liability of other public officials submitting asset declarations are also highly debatable. The author concludes that it is necessary to change the current regulations of criminal liability for providing false information or concealing the truth in the asset declaration of a deputy, senator and other public officials. The optimal solution would be to introduce to Chapter XXIX of the Penal Code a new type of crime – submitting a false asset declaration – with the possibility of classifying the perpetrator’s act as a minor offence.

The subject of the opinion is to analyse the problem of admissibility of repeated submission to the Deputies’ Ethics Committee of motions to punish a deputy for the same act in breach of the “Principles of Deputies’ Ethics”. The author claims that once the Committee has adopted a resolution stating the violation of the above principles by a deputy, the submission of subsequent motions concerning the same case becomes groundless. This is because the provisions of the law do not give the Deputies’ Ethics Committee the possibility to return to the already-settled case.

Parliamentary activity of the Members of Parliament is often the subject of public debate, mainly due to the broadcasts of debates within the walls of the Polish parliament. The voters receive extracts from the speeches of the deputies, which draw their attention because of the topics discussed, the way politicians speak and the emotions they evoke among parliamentarians. Media attention focuses mainly on the most-known politicians. For that reason, it is hard to hear or see the activities of deputies from the so-called back benches on the radio and television, even though these MPs repeatedly show greater parliamentary activity than more well-known politicians.

Aktywność parlamentarna posłów jest często przedmiotem debaty publicznej, głównie z powodu transmitowania obrad, odbywających się w murach polskiego parlamentu. Do wyborców trafiają fragmenty wystąpień posłów, które przykuwają uwagę odbiorców ze względu na poruszane tematy, sposób wypowiadania się oraz emocje, jakie wywołują wśród parlamentarzystów. Uwaga mediów skupia się głównie na najbardziej znanych politykach. Trudno z tego powodu w telewizji i radiu dostrzec działalność posłów z tzw. tylnych ław, którzy wielokrotnie wykazują się większą aktywnością parlamentarną niż bardziej znani politycy.

The strength of the parliament in the political system is largely dependent on its profes- sionalism defined by the activity of its deputies. Polish MPs’ level of education is high, of- ten higher than the West European average. The aim of this paper is to find out whether candidates’ education is an electoral criterion, whether voters base their decisions on the prospective deputies’ qualifications and skills confirmed by university diplomas. The study the results of which I present below was carried out between December 2018 and February 2019 as part of the nationwide research project Political preferences. Attitudes – Identifica- tions – Behaviors. It was conducted with the application of the survey questionnaire method.

Siła parlamentu w systemie politycznym w znaczącym stopniu zależy od jego profesjonalizmu definiowanego działaniami podejmowanymi przez deputowanych. Poziom wykształcenia posłów w polskim parlamencie jest wysoki, niejednokrotnie wyższy od średniej na zachodzie. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie czy wykształcenie kandydatów na posłów stanowi kryterium wyborcze, czy wyborcy podejmując decyzje wyborcze zwracają uwagę na kwali- fikacje i umiejętności kandydujących do parlamentu potwierdzone dyplomami uczelni wyż- szych. Badania, których wyniki prezentuję poniżej, zostały przeprowadzone w okresie gru- dzień 2018 – luty 2019 w ramach ogólnopolskiego projektu badawczego Preferencje polityczne. Postawy – Identyfikacje – Zachowania. Przeprowadzono je metodą kwestionariusza ankiety.

This article provides an assessment of the correctness of the opinions formulated by the Rules and Deputies’ Aff airs Committee about deputies’ appeals to the Presidium of the Sejm against the Marshal of the Sejm’s decisions on their exclusions from the sittings of the Sejm. The assessment has been formulated on the basis of an analysis of the legitimacy of the arguments raised in the course of fi ve sittings of the Committee. These arguments are related to problems associated with the classifi cation of certain deputies’ behaviours as (i) ‘preventing conducting of the sitting’, which is the premise of deputies’ exclusion from the sitting of the Sejm, (ii) the correctness of application by the Marshal of the Sejm of the procedure leading to such exclusion and (iii) its consequences. The assessment of the correctness of the abovementioned arguments and its presentation is preceded by the description of the event occurred during the sitting of the Sejm and a reference to the content of Article 175 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm. The fi rst conclusion drawn based on the analysis of the above is that the opinions issued by the Committee are correct. Another assessment concerned the legitimacy of the postulate formulated during one of the sittings of the Committee to change the body competent to recognise deputies’ appeals against the Marshal of the Sejm’s decisions on their exclusions from the sittings of the Sejm and move such competence should from the Sejm’s Presidium to the Sejm itself. The assessment of the legitimacy of that postulate has been based on the assessment of the legitimacy of the argument for such a solution, raised during the sitting in question of the Committee. The other conclusion drawn is that this postulate was legitimate.

The author presents the rules of suffrage that were binding in Zweites Reich (The Second Reich), that is the German Empire, during elections to provincial self-government in Prussia and then compares them with the new election law implemented in the Weimar Republic (Weimarer Republik). In this way it is possible to establish the degree of potential changes that influenced the personal composition of provincial parliaments. Upon the analysis of the given lists of deputies it clearly follows that a revolution took place in Germany in November 1918: up to that time the Members of Parliament had represented the elites of the Second Reich, recruiting from, among others, aristocrats, the nobility, state administration officials, municipal elites, high mayors, mayors, other officials of municipal councils and industrialist elites. The majority of these people in Weimar Republic were replaced by party activists, which resulted from the new electoral law.

W artykule omówiono tworzenie systemu wyborczego starej Polski. Proces ten ewolucyjnie wytworzył wzór wybierania posłów na sejm. Obejmował dążenie do wybierania posłów w małych jednostkach terytorialnych, na podstawie kombinacji wyborów jednomyślnych i większościowych, w systemie głosowania blokowego. Omówiono implementację tego wzoru w systemie wyborczym przyjmowanym w ramach reformowania Polski w końcu XVIII wieku.

Zgodnie z Konstytucją Republiki Kazachstanu z 30 sierpnia 1995 r. Kazachstan jest państwem o ustroju prezydenckim. Władza wykonawcza w Kazachstanie jest egzekutywą dwuczłonową, tj. składa się z wybieranej na okres siedmiu lat w wyborach powszechnych, równych, bezpośrednich i tajnych głowy państwa – prezydenta republiki, oraz odpowiedzialnego przed prezydentem i parlamentem rządu. W oparciu o postanowienia rozdziału 12. Konstytucji Republiki Kazachstanu z 28 stycznia 1993 r. jednoizbowy parlament występujący pod nazwą „Rada Najwyższa” stanowił jedyny organ przedstawicielski i ustawodawczy republiki. Dwa lata później, w sierpniu 1995 r., w trakcie referendum ogólnokrajowego biorący w nim udział obywatele opowiedzieli się za utworzeniem parlamentu dwuizbowego. Organizację i działalność władzy ustawodawczej, jej strukturę i kompetencje, reguluje Konstytucja Republiki Kazachstanu, Ustawa Konstytucyjna № 2529 z 16 października 1996 r. zatytułowana O parlamencie Republiki Kazachstanu i statusie jego deputowanych oraz inne akty, m.in. regulaminy parlamentarne obu izb, czy też przyjęty podczas wspólnej sesji obu izb parlamentu Republiki Kazachstanu w dniu 20 maja 1996 r. Regulamin parlamentu Republiki Kazachstanu. Jak przewiduje art. 49 konstytucji, dwuizbowy parlament Republiki Kazachstanu jest najwyższym przedstawicielskim organem Republiki wykonującym funkcje ustawodawcze. Parlament Republiki Kazachstanu jest klasycznym przykładem legislatywy biernej, zdominowanej przez prezydenta, prezydencką partię polityczną, i posiadającej niski poziom autonomii. Podsumowując, warto odnotować, że parlamenty są niewątpliwie instytucjami, które należy traktować jako organy sprzyjające stabilizacji systemu politycznego. Stabilność taka zaś – zdaniem Philipa Nortona i Davida M. Olsona – może zostać osiągnięta wtedy, gdy istnieje równowaga legitymizacji wewnątrz systemu.

According to the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan of 30 August 1995, Kazakhstan has a presidential form of government. The executive power in Kazakhstan has two branches, i.e. it consists of the head of state – the President of the Republic – who is elected for the period of seven years in general, equal, direct and secret elections, and of the government, which is accountable to the President and the Parliament. On the basis of the provisions of chapter 12 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan of 28 January 1993, the unicameral parliament called the „Supreme Council” was the only representative and legislative body of the Republic. Two years later, in the referendum held in August 1995, citizens voted for the establishment of a bicameral parliament. The work and activity of the legislative branch, its structure and powers, is regulated by the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, The Constitutional Law № 2529 of 16 October 1996 entitled On the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Status of Its Deputies as well as other acts, such as parliamentary rules of procedure of both chambers or the Regulations of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan adopted by both chambers of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan at their joint session As stipulated in art. 49 of the Constitution, the bicameral Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the highest representative body of the Republic performing legislative functions. The Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a classic example of a passive legislature, which is dominated by the president, the presidential political party, and which has a low level of autonomy. To sum up, it must be noted that parliaments are undoubtedly institutions which should be considered as the bodies conducive to the stability of a political system. According to P. Norton and D.M. Olson, such stability can be achieved when there is the balance of legitimisation within the system.on 20 May 1996. 1

In the article the electoral system for the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Duchy of Warsaw is presented. Its legal bases are indicated: the Constitution of the Duchy and its supplementary decrees. The main elements of the Duchy’s electoral system are presented. Its organisational basis was a network of single-mandate electoral districts created by county assemblies and communal assemblies. Participation in them required the fulfillment of a number of criteria enabling citizens to exercise their electoral rights. The procedure for electing MPs and deputies as well as the voters’ rights are herein discussed. It is remarked that the voters could cast a single vote, an approving vote, or exercise block voting. The rule for deciding in elections is further presented. An electoral victory could result from a unanimous election or from a relative majority of votes. The electoral system of the Duchy of Warsaw is then compared to French proposals and it is demonstrated that it drew mainly from the Polish parliamentary tradition. The practical application of this system in the 1809 and 1811 elections, dominated by the desire for a unanimous election, is outlined.

After four years he wound up in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie (the Dąbrowa Coal Basin), where he participated in political life of the region, to eventually be elected as an MP in 1922. During his five‑year term, B. Knothe became a member of the PSL “Piast” party and at the same time published numerous press articles. In the year 1927 he settled in his family village of Ruszcza, where he administered a landed estate until 1944. Under the German occupation he was involved in underground activity.
