Abstract
Th e recent (2015) change of the art. 437 para 1 kpk. (Polish Code of Criminal Procedure) is very important in terms of second instance judgments in criminal cases. Th e new reformatory ruling (correcting the fi rst instance sentence rather than ordering a new trail) is now the rule, not the exception as it was before. Some limitations of such reformatio still exist, mostly if the judgment is affected with a particularly serious infringement. Such change of paradigm has a profound impact on the model of criminal procedure and may be analysed from numerous points of view, the most important being from the constitutional perspective. Th e paper analyses the constitutional issues of the limitations of possible change (reformatio) of the fi rst instance judgment by the second instance court.
