Justice Dilemmas in Law – the Law Justice Meta-Principle Under the Example of the Polish Administrative Process

Abstract

The article given below concerns a titular problem of justice in law. As a special exemplification of this problem, the example of the Polish administrative process is taken. It poses a location question of the justice meta-principle in it. Considerations on this topic are universal, affecting multiple normative systems. In each of them the said justice was and is discussed. The term “justice” accompanied normative systems since ancient times. Even in the Old Testament we read about acting righteously and justly. Currently, as well, if only by the example of the EU’s Fair Transition Mechanism, discussions on this topic are alive and present. Thus, one can risk saying that justice is still relevant and remains “on the lips” of lawyers, but also politicians, philosophers, theologians or people not at all concerned with science, who may have a conviction that something for them is just or not. This raises the
legitimate question of whether one of the guiding principles and therefore a kind of meta-principle of law, can become a justice principle? The author attempts to answer a number of questions below.
