Summary/Abstract: The Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator does not deprive a parliamentarian who has been subject to a preventive measure in the form of detention on remand of the rights granted to them under the Standing Orders of the Sejm, including the right to appeal against a resolution of the Deputies' Ethics Committee. Respecting the primacy of penitentiary law over the duties arising from the parliamentary mandate of a temporarily detained Deputy results, in practice, in a significant restriction of the ability to exercise rights relating to personal participation in the work of the Sejm and its bodies, as well as a significant restriction of the ability to exercise these rights in writing. In the author's opinion, the delivery of the resolution to the temporarily detained Deputy, undertaken pursuant to the standing orders of the Deputies' Ethics Committee, should be deemed ineffective.
