ABSTRACT

Research into parliamentary constitutional review in Poland has been mostly concerned with the normative issues so far. The literature has rarely investigated how the Polish parliamentary constitutional review functions in practice. The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the parliamentary practice in the scope of constitutional review of statutes performed by the Sejm and the Senate as the chambers of parliament, by its organs and by individual deputies and senators. The author performs a dogmatic analysis and categorisation of the forms of parliamentary constitutional review and, above all, compares the practical functioning of various forms of parliamentary constitutional review after 2015 to previous years. The conducted research shows the impact of the constitutional crisis on the functioning of the practice of parliamentary constitutional review.
