Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to legal aspects of an eventual vindication of the former deputies to the Parliament who were sentenced in the so-called Brześć case. The author describes the background to the trial and its course, analyzes the Presidential Decree of 31 October 1939 on amnesty of the convicted, deputies’ interpellations and the bill on vindication of the sentenced. However, those initiatives did not achieve a positive effect because of the end of the VIIth term of the Sejm.
