Inkongruencja polskiego ustawodawstwa z prawem europejskim w świetle najnowszego orzecznictwa TSUE, SN i TK

Abstract

This study talks about a collision between Polish legislation and European law by analysing the latest case law of the Polish Supreme Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. The aim of this study is to investigate the consequences of conflicting judgments, both from the current perspective and in view of the future. This discussion constitutes a basis for reflecting whether the correct exercise of the right to a fair trial may be considered in the case of a contradiction between two legal orders applicable to a citizen. The author analyses this subject matter against judgments of European tribunals and Polish courts, using the available literature and commentaries and investigating the law in force. The methodology of the work consisting in confronting judgments that present divergent positions with the simultaneous presentation of scholarly opinions will allow the author to scrutinize the impact of the presented facts on the correct exercise of the right to a fair trial.
