PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF MEDICAL EVENTS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CIVIL PROCEEDINGS

Abstract

The article presents the proceedings before the voivodship commission for adjudicating on medical events as an alternative to civil proceedings conducted before a civil court. The analyzed proceedings are characterized by independence in the voivodeship commission, and this independence can be assessed at a satisfactory level. Undoubtedly, the main advantages of the discussed procedure are its speed, low cost and attractive distribution of the burden of command. It is worth noting that even in the case of a negative judgment, the initiated proceedings do not create res judicata and do not close the court’s way of pursuing one’s claims.
