Summary/Abstract: This text is devoted to the institution of seizure of an object and a person from the perspective of the guarantees given to the right to property and personal freedom by the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (1997). In this study, the author focuses on the regulations of Article 64 and Article 41 of the Basic Law, pointing out to them a certain generality of solutions protecting the right to property, but also noting the specificity of the protection granted to the right to personal freedom. This paper also discusses the regulations of Article 244 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. On the basis of the latter analysis, a certain homogeneity of the guarantees of personal freedom and the guarantees of the right to defence is noted, as expressed in the right to legal aid and the right to the assistance of an interpreter.
