O (nie)rzetelności inkwizycyjnego procesu karnego w świetle prawa europejskiego

Abstract

The article deals with one of the elementary principles of the criminal trial – reliability of the trial – in conventional and constitutional terms. The author analyses the concept of fair trial and details the most important elements. Then she considers whether the currently existing model of the criminal trial in Poland, rich in inquisitional institutions, is compatible with the principle of a fair trial. She analyses the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure, compares these regulations with principles of impartiality, objectivity and equality of procedural parties that are part of the concept of a fair trial.
