Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the investigations described in this study was the analysis of the exemptions granted to the Social Insurance Institution concerning the payment of enforcement fees resulting from the conduct of civil enforcement proceedings concluded with discontinuance. The scope of the study has been limited to situations in which, at the request of the Social Insurance Institution, enforcement proceedings are conducted in respect of their operation specified in the act and conducted by this entity, and only to situations where the proceedings are discontinued due to the lack of the activity needed to continue the proceedings or failure to demand the suspension of proceedings within six months. The purpose of the research is to answer the question whether the judicial officer can effectively charge the Social Insurance Institution with an enforcement fee in connection with the discontinuance of enforcement proceedings under Article 824 paragraph 1 point 4 of the Code of Civil Proceedings. The conducted research leads to the conclusion that de lege lata neither Article 114 paragraph 4 of the Act on the social insurance system in connection with Article 45 paragraph 1 of the Act on enforcement fees nor any other provision introduces a sufficient legal basis for exempting the Social Insurance Institution from the enforcement fee when the enforcement proceedings are discontinued as in the described situation.
