Ujawnienie tajemnicy adwokackiej a odpowiedzialność adwokata za naruszenie dobra osobistego klienta w formie prawa do prywatności
Disclosing a lawyer’s secret and the solicitor’s accountability for violation of the personal interest of a client in the form of the right to privacy

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the issue of attorney’s accountability for revealing, by breaching the attorney-client privilege, information concerning the client’s private life, which is perceived as a personal right according to the civil law. The author makes an attempt to answer the question which legal articles will be breached by the attorney in this case, and how the client can pursue their rights. She weighs the attorney’s accountability both when the attorney reveals some information of their own volition, and when they are forced by the existing legal articles. The author’s findings lead to an unequivocal conclusion that the client from the above-mentioned situation can pursue their rights, which the attorney had violated by breaching the attorney- client privilege, not only by instituting disciplinary proceedings against the attorney, but also based on the civil law articles. However, a positive result of both proceedings will always be dependent on deciding whether the attorney is unlawful.
