Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 21

Abstract

In June this year, Polish Sejm passed a law amending Article 90 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Th is provision regulates the institution of the so called community representative (similar to amicus curiae) in a Polish criminal trial. A purpose of the above amendments is to facilitate participation of a community representative in the proceedings. Adopted amendments change the procedural mechanism of admitting a community representative to the proceedings, which is conditioned on consent thereto of at least one party to litigation.
