Suspension of Administrative Court Proceedings Due to Extraordinary Administrative Proceedings

Art. 124 § 1 point 6 in conjunction with Art. 56 of the Act on Proceedings Before Administrative Courts should be understood in accordance with Art. 2 and 45 of the Polish Constitution, in such a way that the suspension of proceedings on this basis requires prior consideration of all the circumstances of the case, including the circumstances justifying its immediate examination. This especially applies to cases where the court finds the possibility of abuse of procedural law. The circumstances which constitute the basis for the suspension of court proceedings, pursuant to Art. 125 § 1 point 1 of the Act on Proceedings Before Administrative Courts, must objectively condition the court’s decision. When applying the above-mentioned provisions, the court is obliged to consider the effects of possible waiting for a decision on a preliminary ruling. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the need for a rational adjudication on the suspension of court and administrative proceedings, in order to maintain the principle of the speed of proceedings.
