Glosa aprobująca do uchwały składu siedmiu sędziów Sądu Najwyższego z 10 maja 2023 r., sygn. akt III CZP 71/22

Abstract

The approving gloss presents the decision of the Polish Supreme Court of the court file III CZP 71/22, that is the resolution of seven justices taken on May 10, 2023. It shows that a marriage certificate prepared as part of a contractual marriage is of a constitutive nature, and exceeding the 5-day deadline, which is of an administrative nature, for submitting a certificate under art. 8 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code, by a clergyman, should, in principle, result in a refusal to prepare a marriage certificate. However, if such an act is prepared, it cannot be considered that the marriage does not exist. The Supreme Court also pointed out that Art. 10 of the Concordat is not suitable for direct application, only national regulations issued on its basis.
