By instigating civil proceedings a plaintiff intends to obtain a final and unequivocal judgement on the merits regulating a legal situation which had been unclear prior to the lawsuit. However, reaching this goal will not always be possible. The court might be obliged to reject the lawsuit or annul the proceedings due to formal reasons (cf. Article 199 and article 355 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure). Such situations give room to considerations whether purely formal, procedural decisions violate litigants’ right to court in the aspect of ‘right to judgement’, i.e. a right to a verdict substantively adjudicating the merits of the case. The author analyzes this issue with reference to the so-called absolute procedural prerequisites (Germ. Prozessvoraussetzungen) and their impact on constitutional and treaty-based guarantees of access to court.

THREE TRANSFORMATIONS OF CIVIL PROCEEDINGS IN POLAND IN THE 20TH CENTURY. THE LEGAL PATTERNS Summary Poland’s history over the last century was an eventful period of political, state and legal change. There were three transformations of judicial law due to changing political circumstances in twentieth century Poland. The first transformation occurred when independence was gained in 1918. At that point in Poland five different legal system were in force. The decision to temporarily keep the law of the occupying powers until the new Polish legal system was created was taken by the Polish authorities. The work on Polish civil procedure began in November 1919. Using the comparative method all modern legal answers within European civil procedures, which equated with Polish Law, were drafted in the Polish Code of Civil Procedure. The second transformation in Polish judicial law began after  World War II, when Poland found itself under the political influenceof the USSR. Formal maintenance of the law of the Second Republic of Poland was decided on in People’s Poland. The legal system of the interwar Poland, including the Code of Civil Procedure (1930), did not square with the principles of the new state system. Code of Civil Procedure (1930) had been „adapted“ to contemporary governance, plitical and ideological so that it would mirror as much as possible the Soviet model. The new Code of Civil Procedure that was adopted during November 1964 retained its binding force so far. However when the third transformation came about soon after 1989, the existing system of law was revised to eliminate the rules and principles characteristic of the socialist legal system. Amendments of the Code of Civil Procedure (1964) have increased the adversarial aspect of civil proceedings. The possibility of the court to order the investigations  during the civil procedure was eliminated, but the possibility of the court to obtain evidence ex officio was kept which is intended to guarantee the implementation of the principles of truth, in legal sense and not in the ideological sense.

In general, the efficiency of civil proceedings in commercial cases has been improved by introducing the amendment of 4 July 2019 to the Polish Code of Civil Procedure: the subsidiarity of testimonial evidence in the commercial cases. Simultaneously, Article 458 10 of the code doesn’t allow to take an expert witness opinion after testimonial evidence which may, in a particular case, extend the duration of the proceedings. Therefore, this gap should be removed by amendment of this regulation. It should also be taken into account that testimonial evidence needs to be proceeded by hearing of parties due to both the reasons of conducting and the character of both means of proof.

One of the most important changes to the legal regulations in 2019 is the reform of the civil procedure introduced by the Act of July 4, 2019 amending the Act - Code of Civil Procedure and certain other acts. One of the most important goals of this reform was to improve the implementation of the civil right to a fair trial. According to the authors of the reform, the existing solutions in terms of the manner of conducting civil proceedings have worked well under conditions of a relatively low burden on civil courts. Nowadays, when the number of civil cases is gradually increasing, the legislator’s efforts are required that will realistically simplify and accelerate the proceedings in these cases. As part of the amendment in question, two far-reaching changes were made to two means of appeal, basic for civil proceedings, i.e. an appeal and a complaint
