Postępowanie zabezpieczające wobec osoby stosującej przemoc w rodzinie

Abstract

The article has a scientific and research character. Its purpose is to discuss the protective proceedings against the perpetrator of domestic violence in the area of Polish civil procedure and to answer questions about the method of such security, its subject, purpose, course of the proceedings and the provision of security. The answers to these questions may have not only doctrinal but also practical value, especially since there are no scientific studies on this topic. Although the basic research method used in the article is a formal and dogmatic analysis, the practice of applying the law was also taken into account, using the analysis of the jurisprudence of common courts and the scientific discussion conducted on the basis of these judgments. This new method of securing non-monetary claims of a novation nature serves to protect people affected by domestic violence and to provide temporary legal protection by isolating the victim from the violence offender in situations where he poses a threat to the life or health of household members. Securing is subject to the prior issuing of an order or prohibition by the competent authority (Police, Military Police or court). If such an order or prohibition has been issued, the court may grant security on the terms set out in Articles 7552 to 7554 of the Civil Procedure Code; if there is no prior order, the security is granted on general terms (Article 755 of the Code).
