As of 1 July this year, a court fee for filing a private indictment increase from PLN 300 to PLN 1,000. The Ministry of Justice explains that the change is to discourage abuse of this legal path. Will the fresh regulations hit court money, specified as the president of the OMZRiK Konrad Dulkowski, who annually imposes respective specified processes on Polish patriots?
Bodnar hits OMZRiK. PLN 1000 will be charged from 1 July for the filing of a private indictment. This is more than a three-fold increase, which the Ministry of Justice explains the actual increase in judicial costs and the simplification in the number of unjustified cases initiated by moneymakers specified as OMZRiK activists.
A private indictment allows victims to bring their own case to court – without mediation of the prosecutor – in cases specified as violation of physical immunity, defamation or slight injury. The erstwhile fee for the transfer of specified an act amounted to PLN 300. The intent of the court fee was to restrict the engagement in court in trivial or false cases whose characteristic was only money or to make life miserable for others.
The stakes go up, and Adam Bodnar's ministry argues that the fee should correspond to the actual costs of conducting proceedings. Bodnarists besides believe that 300 PLN is an amount that does not meet its purpose, and the justice strategy is clogged with private prosecution cases.
In practice, the ministry's communicative is only partially hit. If the courts are clogged with cases, that does not mean that we are dealing with a large scale of money, but that we do not have adequate judges. This is besides due to Bodnar himself, a paralysis associated with tampering with the regulation of law and independency of the judiciary. It is adequate to remind you that in respective cases late there has been a resumption of legally completed proceedings, as the defenders of criminals pointed to allegedly unauthorised rulings – they referred to Bodnarian slogans about "neossiers" and "pareossiers".
These are the real reasons for clogging courts and the failure of assurance in the Polish justice system. Furthermore, lawyers observe that the fee of PLN 1000 can deter people who are actually harmed, especially those without funds to cover this amount, whose only way to court is private prosecution. So they lose, as usual, the poorest. Contrary to appearances, the OMZRiK will not halt imposing private indictments on Poles due to the increase of their costs. He receives tens of thousands of zlotys for this purpose. He'll just beg for more.
