Summary/Abstract: This article presents the latest and most important judgments concerning the provisions of the 1925 Concordat. The Concordat of 1925 was of great importance in the relations between the State and the Catholic Church at the time of the Second Polish Republic, because it regulated uniformly the situation of the Church on the territory of the whole country. Despite the fact that the Concordat of 1925 was signed almost a century ago, some interesting and innovative judgments regarding its provisions have been issued in recent years. Although cases which require reference to this agreement are not very frequent, it should be noted that with regard to some issues, especially those pertaining to the property of the Catholic Church, its provisions are still relevant. Therefore, presenting their current interpretation adopted by the Supreme Court and common courts not only makes it possible to predict ways of resolving legal disputes in future adjudications, but it also helps to address some pertinent theoretical questions.
