Projekty powołania sądownictwa administracyjnego w Polsce w latach 1944–52

Abstract

This article presents the issue of the reactivation of the administrative judiciary in Poland in the years 1944–1952. The judicial control administration existed in the Second Republic of Poland, but World War II interrupted its activities. The Polish communist authorities, in comparing the Manifesto of July 1944 and the “Small Constitution” of 1947 with the basic principles of the “March Constitution” of 1921, indirectly pointed to the necessity of re-establishing such a jurisdiction. However, the revolutionary social reforms, which primarily related to agricultural reform and nationalization, meant that control over the administration, exercised by an independent court or other authorities, did not fit within the process of building the new system. Consequently, the 1952 Constitution of the Polish People’s Republic, completely shattered the chance of reactivating such form of control.
