“…Among other things, the institution of an anonymous witness (incognito witness) was introduced, whereby a witness who was questioned in the course of criminal proceedings could have withheld or anonymized data revealing their identity due to a well-founded fear of a threat to life, health, freedom, or substantial property of a witness or a person close to them. 23 These data were only at the disposal of the court or prosecutor. Another of these new institutions is the institution of a crown witness who, as a participant in the criminal procedure, in order to improve their procedural situation, agreed to testify as a witness in exchange for waiving or mitigating the penalty.…”

Criminal law regulations in each country are among the most delicate and most important legal acts for the functioning of the society. Criminal liability determined in the course of criminal proceedings is the most controversial type of legal liability because unlike other types, it allows, in the majesty of the law, for the deepest type of interference with the status of a free individual, specifically, the status of their rights. Additionally, the positive result of criminal proceedings, namely the statement that someone did indeed commit a crime, has very serious consequences. This is because in general, criminal law is public law, wherein this interference with individuals’ rights and freedoms is most apparent. Therefore, on the one hand, in the area of criminal law, there must be a specific balance between the necessity to interfere with the rights of an individual by a public authority and the secur- ing of these rights against possible abuses of this authority. On the other hand, the area of criminal law is particularly susceptible to a wide variety of historical events as well as political, social, and economic influences. This primarily regards time in the sense of historical events, the specificity of the period, or simply the attitude of public authorities toward an individual in society. In this line of thought, analyses showing the general characteristics of each criminal law system, in this case, the system functioning in Poland, are recent and highly interesting.

This research article aims to present an image of the right to privacy in selected Polish constitutional court cases. The paper starts with a concise introduction indicating the scope of the study, the justification for undertaking the analysis, and the methodology used. As part of the introduction, the current structure of the judiciary in Poland will also be presented. The court cases related to the right to privacy heard by the Polish Constitutional Tribunal will then be presented with a focus on considerations related to the understanding of the concept of the right to privacy, its content, scope, and elements, and the legally justified premises limiting this human right. Such judgments are based on the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. This will be done on the basis of three judgments of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal of significant importance to the title issue. As part of these considerations, reference will also be made to numerous other judgments of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, so that the presented discourse has the broadest possible context. The paper ends with a concise summary containing original observations related to the matter being discussed.
