Summary/Abstract: The opinion provides an assessment of the legal acceptability of limiting the form of submission of interpellation and Deputies’ questions to the format an electronic document. The analysis of Article 193 (2) of the Standing Orders of the Sejm currently precludes such a possibility, as both interpellations and Deputies’ Questions must meet the formal requirements that include, inter alia, the need to be in writing. The Standing Orders of the Sejm do not contain a legal definition of the phrase “in writing”. From literal interpretation it follows that it is a paper document, signed in person by its author. The inability to accept that the meaning of the written form can also include the form of electronic document is proved by an absolute requirement to append two copies to an answer to a Deputies’ question. The imposition of an obligation for interpellations and Deputies’ question to be submitted in the form of an electronic document therefore requires amendment of Article 193 (1) and (2) of the Standing Orders of the Sejm.
