Axiological and Ideological Justification of the Institution of Ownership of Premises

Ownership of premises is one of the fundamental real rights in contemporary Polish legal system. A thorough query shows that lawyers do not devote much attention to the issue of its axiology, focusing essentially on a dogmatic analysis of legal provisions. In the interwar period, it was primarily pointed out that the ownership of premises was to serve housing cooperatives. In the times of the People’s Republic of Poland, when the possibility of establishing separate ownership of premises was very limited, some authors tried to promote the institution as an additional remedy for housing problems. Finally, with the transformation towards a capitalist economy, the ownership of premises was recognised, often not precisely, as a market mechanism. Only two authors – Zygmunt Fenichel in the 1930s and Zbigniew Radwanski in the 1960s – unequivocally indicated that the purpose of the institution of ownership of premises is to popularise ownership. They linked it with the idea of social solidarity. This view should be considered correct; ownership of premises was meant to be a tool to popularise ownership of real estate among vast social groups and it contradicts a typical, capitalist model of tenement house. However, the current state of affairs, particularly the changing market function of ownership of premises, raise the question whether this axiological goal is still being met.

Scope of Appeal against Refusal to Make Extracts or Copies of Files in Preparatory Proceedings

The term “providing access to files” in the article 159 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure has blank character, referring to the regulations stipulating the rights and obligations related to the provision of files in the preparatory proceedings. Therefore, the meaning of this term should be decoded in reference to other regulations. It was shown that terms “providing access to files”, “making excerpts or copies” and “issuing certified excerpts or copies” in the article 156 § 5 constitute arguments of conjunction, as a result of which a procedural decision must be of the same type (positive or negative) and must cover all parts of the conjunction together. It was also proved that making the files available in such a way that a party could record their contents is supported by functional interpretation and guarantees under the right of defense.

Critical Gloss to the Judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) from 28 November 2017, II FSK 3245/15. Report on Destination of the Donation to Charity and Care Activities

Legal entities of the Catholic Church and other churches with their own laws have the right to obtain funds from unlimited tax deductions for charitable activities. The statutory condition for the effectiveness of such a deduction is the presentation of a report on “the destiny of the donation”. Mentioned term used by legislator has no legal definition. According to the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA), it is a report on the actual spending of donation. Thus, the court creates a dangerous judicial definition. It is also problematic demanding a personal identification of recipients of aid by tax authorities.
