ABSTRACT

The chapter covers how the administrative court understands and applies the duty of consistent interpretation of national law with EU law in its judgments. The chapter includes its reception by the administrative courts, elements of the principle of consistent interpretation as understood by these courts, a presentation of how they follow the interpretation of EU law adopted by the CJ, and what the limits of consistent interpretation are as seen by the administrative courts. This chapter also presents various consequences of consistent interpretation of Polish law with EU law as seen from the perspective of the administrative courts and the point of view of an individual being party to judicial proceedings.
