SUMMARY:

The Polish system of appeal proceedings in criminal cases has been developed in such a manner that an appeal should be filed within 14 days of receipt of a copy of the judgement with justification. Therefore, filing an application for justification of the decision of the Court of First Instance is an act directly aimed at inducing an appeal and is at the same time its prerequisite. The deadline for submitting such application pursuant to Article 422 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is 7 days. Against this background, the jurisprudence of common courts and the Supreme Court held that the submission of an application before a judgement is pronounced as ineffective. However, a precedent judgement in this case was issued against Poland by the European Court of Human Rights, stating that Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights had been violated in such a situation. This raises the question of the impact of this judgement in the light of the application of law by the Polish courts in similar cases.

Key words: justification of the judgement, right to a fair trial, appeal
