Public Law Restrictions on the Activities of Bailiffs in Market Economy in Light of Certain Constitutional Values

Summary/Abstract: The considerations included in the article were inspired by public law restrictions on the activities of bailiffs introduced by the Act of 9 April 2015 amending the Act on Bailiffs and Enforcement. They are embodied by the standards in Article 8 paragraph 8 of the Act on Bailiffs and Enforcement, according to which the bailiff selected by the creditor refuses a request for enforcement or preservation of a claim or to take other action which is within the scope of his or her statutory tasks if: 1) there is a backlog of more than six months in the enforcement proceedings being conducted by him or her; 2) the number of all received cases in a given year exceeded 5,000, and the effectiveness of the enforcement proceedings in the previous year did not exceed 35%; 3) the number of all received cases in a given year exceeded 10,000. The aim of the article was to examine the compatibility of the adopted legislative solutions with the constitutional values expressed in Article 2 and 20 and Article 45 paragraph 1 of the Constitution. The leading research approach in the discipline of law is linguo-logical interpretation of a status of formalized rules. So if the legal regulations became the basic material for verification of the presented issue, this circumstance naturally determined the use of formal-dogmatic method for the research as the most efficient one in the process of exegesis of legal norms. The conducted analysis of indicated legal solutions allowed their critical evaluation from the perspective of compatibility with the norms of the Constitution, as well as in regard to the protection of the rights of bailiffs and creditors.
