As of November 2021, legislative works in the Parliament are underway in regards to three bills intended to introduce the institution of so called “peace courts” to the Polish justice system. Two of those bills are parliamentary ones, while the third has been submitted by the President of Poland. The idea is that the „peace courts“ will be staffed by people who have no judicial qualifications and will deal with “minor” cases under a simplified procedure, which is intended to relieve the common courts and speed up their proceedings. Under the presidential draft, the “peace court judges” would be elected by popular vote for a six-year term. They would have to have a law degree and three years of practical experience. They would rule on cases of summons to a conciliation hearing, alimony, infringement of possession and cases heard in the simplified proceedings. Their decisions would be appealed by district courts. The two parliamentary bills provide for different solutions, both in terms of the way “peace court judges” are appointed and the scope of their competences. Currently, the end of the legislative works as well as the form of the “peace courts” remains unknown. The shape of all the proposed regulation, however, dictates skepticism as to the legitimacy of such a solution in the Polish legal system.
