O możliwości odmowy przyjęcia lub pozostawienia bez rozpoznania kasacji wniesionej po upływie terminu, o którym mowa w art. 524 § 3 Kodeksu postępowania karnego
On the possibility of refusing to accept or leaving the cassation unexamined after the expiry of the time limit referred to in Article 524, § 3 of Polish Code of Criminal Procedure

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this work is to analyse Article 524, § 3 of Polish Code of Criminal Procedure and, on the basis of the systemic and functional ways of judicial interpretation, to provide the answer to the question about the possibility of refusing to accept (by the president of the court to which the cassation was submitted) or leaving unexamined (by the Supreme Court) the cassation filed against the accused after more than one year of the date on which the judgment has become final, if, at the same time, it is not even theoretically possible, in that particular case, to change the appealed judgment in favour of the accused. The view was expressed that the adoption of the proposed interpretation of this provision would contribute to a significant relief to the Supreme Court, while maintaining all procedural guarantees for the parties, which, according to the author, may be of particular importance, especially during the period of combating the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
