Collision of Public Interest and Legitimate Interest of the Citizen in Polish Administrative Law
Collision of Public Interest and Legitimate Interest of the Citizen in Polish Administrative Law

Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to explore the links between public interest and legitimate interest of the citizen in the context of their collision in Polish law. For better explanation of its subject the article bases on the examples placed in the judicature of Polish courts as well as on the particular regulations of Polish law such as: act on land management and planning or act on natural environment’s protection. Among others, the article comes forward with a conclusion that even though the wording of article 7 of Code of Administrative Procedure referring to public interest and legitimate interest of the citizen has not altered since 1960, the way these two interests are understood in Polish law was changing along with the changes of the political system in Poland.
