The essence of freedoms and rights in the selected jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the right to property

The concept of the essence of freedom and rights shapes, together with the principle of proportionality, the extent of permissible interference in this sphere. The article addresses the problem of the possibility of prescription of a limited property right as a possible interference with this right as well as the relationship between Art. 31 sec. 3 and Art. 64. 3 of the Constitution in the context of possible differences in the level of protection they provide in the light of preserving the essence of the property right.

Importance of the Case-Law of the German Federal Constitutional Court for the Case-Law of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal

The aim of this article was to find an answer to the question about the role played by the case-law of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany in the case-law of the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland, and to the question about the sort of cases heard by the CT, in which references to the FCC case-law occurred most often. An attempt to answer the above-mentioned questions were asked after empirical research. The judgments of the CT, publicly available on the Online Judgment Portal on the website of the CT, served as empirical material. In the case-law of the CT, it was not clearly indicated whether, in the case of referring by the CT to the case-law of the FCC, the Tribunal did it for comparative purposes, whether it was related to the interpretation of legal norms by the CT or for another purpose.
