Dopuszczenie przedstawiciela społecznego do postępowania sądowego w świetle art. 90 k.p.k. po nowelizacji z dnia 10 czerwca 2016 r.

Abstract

In June of this year, the Polish Sejm passed a law amending article 90 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This provision regulates the institution of the so-called social representative (as - amicus curiae) in a Polish criminal trial. Th e amendments adopted are aimed at facilitating participation of the representative in the trial process. Adopted amendments change the procedural mechanism enabling the social representative to enter into the process, subordinating access to the consent of just one party to the proceedings.
