Summary/Abstract: The author agrees with the Constitutional Tribunal’s opinion that Article 87 § 1 of the Penal Code to the extent that it imposes an obligation on the court to combine imprisonment and restriction of liberty and to impose a total penalty of deprivation of liberty after converting the penalty of restriction of liberty into imprisonment is inconsistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. In addition, the author raised the problem of ratio legis of Article 87 of the Penal Code and indicated why the deficiencies in regulation were noticed so late in the case law.
