Summary/Abstract: The article considers the institution of return of expropriated estate. The first part of the text is devoted to the expropriation itself as an imperious construction of public law in the light of elementary constitutional rules of Polish law order. Expropriation has been described by pointing and considering its particular premises, both positive and negative. The main part is focused on the statutory institution of return of expropriated estate, stated by Article 136 et seq of Real Estate Management Act of August 21, 1997, around which, according to the series of expropriations performed at the time of Polish postwar political system creation, a lot of legal doubts have arisen. The article deliberates each of significant premises of return, for instance the acknowledgement of estate as redundant for expropriation purposes (which seems not to be discussed in legal doctrine), deliberating the main points of doctrine and judicature. The text comes up with a few important de lege ferenda proposals in order to shape abovementioned construction distinctly.
