Ochrona praw jednostki w administracyjnych postępowaniach wyłączonych
This study regards protection of the individual’s rights in autonomous administrative proceedings in the light of the Act of 14 June 1960 – Code of Administrative Procedure, regulated in the special regulations in relation to the general standards arising from this act. The intention of the author was to demonstrate that establishment of excluded administrative proceedings by the legislator compromises protection of the individual’s rights in comparison to the standards guaranteed by the European legislative acts. This thesis was verified by way of analysis of two exemplary regulations concerning excluded administrative proceedings: proceedings regarding co-financing of projects within the framework of operational programs as well as verifying proceedings related to protection of confidential information. The regulations of the Code of Administrative Procedure correspond fully to the regulations adopted in the European law. Instrumental treatment of procedural provisions and their separate formation in the provisions of special acts must have an underlying justification and, first and foremost, must be compliant with the principle of proportionality. Otherwise, ad hoc creation of separate procedural solutions is not conducive to cohesion and completeness of the legal system in a democratic state under the rule of law. Concurrently, it reduces the level of protection of the individual's rights in the administrative proceedings. Such a situation occurs in the exemplary regulations subject to the analysis presented herein.
