Zasadność wezwań w sprawach niepodpisanych skarg, wniosków i petycji – przyczynek do dyskusji

Abstract

The article concerns the issue of the compulsory nature of signatures affixed under complaints, motions and petitions. The author notices that in the light of the literal interpretation of binding legal standards, apart from complaints and motions filed orally for the record, complaints, motions and petitions lodged both by means of electronic communication and in a traditional way do not require the signature of the claimant (person acting on behalf of the claimant). The author indicates that regulations concerning complaints, motions and petitions do not provide for the possibility of summoning the claimant to affix a missing signature, and do not give obvious (unquestioned) grounds to apply in such a case to motions and summons auxiliary regulations applicable to general administrative proceedings, in which a signature is obligatory. It is possible only in the case of following systematic and purposive interpretation. Finally, the author emphasises that regulations concerning petitions cannot determine the status of the claimant due to the manner of submission.
