Abstract

This article concerns the possibility of conducting proceedings in the absence of the accused or his or her defence counsel even though they have duly justified their absence. The study discusses grounds for applying Article 378a of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure, alongside some issues connected with submission of a motion for the supplementary taking of evidence. The paper assesses the ratio legis of Article 378a of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure in the context of the principle of a fair criminal trial, the right to court and the right to defence. The author analyses this legal norm de lege lata and formulates de lege ferenda postulates.
