Abstract

This article discusses an issue associated with verifi cation proceedings in the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure. It attempts to determine the legal nature of activities related to the “verifi cation of one’s own information”, referred to in § 5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Although verifi - cation proceedings have become the subject of numerous publications and studies, the link between the “verifi cation of one’s own information” and “verifi cation roceedings” has not been determined, similar to the nature of § 5 mentioned above has not been established eithe Therefore, this article seeks to determine whether the activities referred to in Article 307(5) of the Code of Criminal Procedure form a part of verifi cation proceedings or whether they are distinct from this stage of proceedings and whether they impact such proceedings. Furthermore, the discussion covers also the consequences of a situation in which information about an offence, obtained through a traditional report or from other sources, is not confi rmed. In particular, this article analyses a situation in which a refusal to initiate an investigation is issued.
