SUMMARY:

The main problem discussed in the article is the issue of illegal evidence in the Polish civil proceedings, discussed by the way of comparison with solutions adopted on the ground of criminal and administrative law. The purpose is to point both the procedural and non-procedural consequences of using such evidence, it’s significance for the conclusion of the court and the consequent, potential responsibility of the person using it during the trial. The author reviews many judgements of the Polish Supreme Court and appellate courts, illustrating the analysis of the selected civil, administrative and criminal regulations. His conclusion is the unfavorable opinion concerning the lack of regulations openly regarding the question of the illegal evidence in the Polish Code of Civil Proceedings. According to the author, it is crucial to add such adjustments, closing the discussed codification to its administrative and criminal counterparts.
