THE RIGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO A COURT HEARING IN THE POLISH ADMINISTRATIVE COURT PROCEEDINGS (SELECTED ISSUES)

Abstract

The right to a court hearing is one of the fundamental rights of an individual in democratic legal states. Formally, this right is derived first of all from regulations of the international law, including Art. 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and Art. 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The right to a court hearing is also a fundamental value adopted in the Community law. Pursuant to Art. 6 of the Treaty on European Union, the Union is founded on the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms as well as the rule of law, and those values are common to all Member States.
