Abstract

This paper concerns the verifying proceedings regulated in Article 307 of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure. I analyse this procedural institution from the perspective of its function in Polish criminal proceedings. I start by listing the key principles applicable to this regulation and embark on an interpretation of the legislator’s intention regarding the functions of this institution with reference to the purpose of verifying proceedings. I then move on to consider the individual functions of verifying proceedings. I discuss the grounds for the separate treatment of verifying proceedings and related aspects of criminal proceedings.

Keywords:

verifying proceedings, justifed suspicion that offence has been committed, investigation, inquiry, preparatory proceedings, decision to initiate criminal proceedings, individual’s rights and freedoms, principle of legalism, principle of prom proceedings.
