Charakter prawny ograniczeń sposobu korzystania z nieruchomości w związku z ochroną zasobów środowiska – refleksje na temat art. 129 Prawa ochrony środowiska
The legal nature of restrictions on the use of real estate in connection with the protection of environmental resources – reflections on Art. 129 of Environmental Law

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the discussion is the legal nature of restrictions on the use of real estate in relation to the protection of environmental resources. Art. 129 of Environmental Law can have the effect that the use of a property or its part is impossible or substantially reduced. In doctrine, the dominant view is that such public-law interference in the right of property assumes the form of restriction referred to in Art. 64, par. 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Another interpretation is also possible. Since the depth of the interference with property rights can lead to the effect that this property will become, as the Ombudsman has pointed out recently, “useless” to the owner, it would be reasonable to consider whether or not such property is de facto being expropriated. In such a case, the standard of constitutional control would be Art. 21, sec. 2.
