Uchylenie postanowienia o uznaniu za zmarłego w trybie przyśpieszonym

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a specific, accelerated, procedure of overturning valid judgments in non–litigious proceedings, referring to decisions declaring a person legally dead. The procedure includes certain particular features: it does not require the hearing of evidence, no court fees are collected, the decision is overturned immediately ex officio, and most importantly, the procedure requires the unconditional presence of a person whose death was declared, who is obliged to confirm his or her identity in a way which raises no concerns to the court. Confirmation of identity may include only presenting proof of one’s name, surname and age.
