Interpretation of Article 184 par. 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm – subject mat­ter of a point of order

Author(s): Piotr Chybalski
Subject(s): Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law
Published by: Kancelaria Sejmu
Keywords: point of order; Standing Orders; sitting of the Sejm

Summary/Abstract: The discussed Article specifies the acceptable subject matter of points of order. The assumption that they may concern matters being the subject of or­ders of the day and the course of sittings means that the subject matter of the point of or­der cannot become a matter to be considered in the future, i.e. during any of subsequent sittings. In the author’s opinion, it is in principle unacceptable to submit pro futuro points of order. Article 184 para. 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm refers only to the subject of the point of order and not to the motives of the motion submitted by the applicant. This means that, on justifying the point of order, a Deputy may rely on external circumstances, i.e. not related to a group of matters considered by the Sejm during a given sitting.
