Abstract

This article is a study of a scientific and research character. It contains an analysis of the legal measures, the aim of which is to provide appropriate protection to a person who is the subject of an incapacitation petition. The synthesis is centred on an answer to the question whether it is legally admissible to file a petition for protection in the proceedings concerning an adult for the purpose of securing the property of this person. The author gives arguments in favour of the affirmative answer to this question. This is corroborated not only by the general purpose of the protective proceedings, that is protection of interests of the person concerned, but also by the functional and literal interpretation of Article 730 § 1, Article §§ 1–3 and Article 755 of the Civil Procedure Code. Issuing a decision about protection in incapacitation proceedings and entry of a warning in the Land and Mortgage Register on the basis of a judicial decision about granting protection are legally admissible instruments providing relevant protection to the sick person. Together with the legal measures which offer a chance to present arguments effectively on behalf of the person who is the subject of an incapacitation petition, they provide a guarantee of adequate protection of interests of the person concerned. The article discusses the subject from a novel perspective. The presented issue has not been analysed comprehensively in the literature on the subject so far. In the author’s opinion, the article deals with the issues of the national range, important also for practitioners of law.
