    Adversarial character of civil appeal proceedings – selected issues
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2017) Rzewuski, Maciej
    Among the particular branches of law, one can distinguish the so-called primary principles of law. They mirror the basic assumptions of a specific area of law. Adversarial principle is regarded as one of such principles within the field of civil proceeding. In the most general approach, the principle indicates the burden that rests on the parties – presenting factual situation and invoking evidence to support it. Under this rule, the cognition of civil court is limited solely to assessing the evidence introduced by parties and providing a suitable decision on this basis. Introduction of the adversarial principle ought to significantly contribute to creating a quick and efficient mechanism for bringing to justice based on evidence invoked by the parties. Winning the court case ought to constitute a reward for appropriate fulfillment of one’s law-imposed obligation to present rationale. Na gruncie poszczególnych gałęzi prawa wyróżnia się tzw. naczelne zasady prawa, będące odzwierciedleniem podstawowych założeń danej dziedziny prawa. Do takich zasad na gruncie postępowania cywilnego, zaliczana jest zasada kontradyktoryjności. W najbardziej ogólnym ujęciu oznacza ona obciążenie stron procesowych ciężarem przytaczania okoliczności faktycznych i zgłaszania dowodów na ich poparcie. Kognicja sądu cywilnego, w myśl tej zasady, sprowadza się jedynie do oceny zaoferowanego przez strony materiału dowodowego i wydania na tej podstawie stosownego rozstrzygnięcia. Wprowadzenie zasady kontradyktoryjności powinno w sposób odczuwalny przyczynić się do stworzenia szybkiego i efektywnego mechanizmu służącego do wymierzania sprawiedliwości na podstawie materiału dowodowego zaoferowanego przez strony. Nagrodą za należyte wywiązanie się z nałożonego ustawą obowiązku wykazania swoich racji, winno być wygranie procesu.

    Evidence Limitations on the Part of the Entrepreneur in the Economic Process
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Rzewuski, Maciej
    This article addresses an issue that is highly debatable both in the theory of civil procedural law and in the practice of jurisprudence, namely the entrepreneur’s right to a court and, consequently, the possibility of respecting the principle of material truth in a separate proceeding in commercial cases in the context of evidentiary limitations introduced by the legislator under the Act of 4 July 2019 amending the Code of Civil Procedure. Due to the fact that eponymous matters are complex and multifaceted, the present article shall describe and signal selected specific issues, which seem to raise the most doubts among representatives of the world of science and practitioners who apply civil law daily.

    Gloss to the Supreme Court’s decision of 15 June 2022, II CSKP 509/22
    (KUL Publishing House, 2022) Rzewuski, Maciej
    This paper is an attempt at a polemic with the position of the Supreme Court expressed in the cassation case II CSKP 509/22. The subject matter discussed in the paper is of great importance, particularly from a practical point of view, and concerns the issue of the (im)possibility of establishing the date of a will in a situation where doubts arise as to the relation of this will to another will which is dated. The considerations take into account not only the achievements of Polish doctrine, but also - for the sake of comparison and in order to find the best possible model for proceedings in this type of case - the solutions functioning in foreign legal systems (mainly German and French).
