Summary/Abstract: The article concentrates on the surprising decision as one of possible forms of violation of the right to fair trial. The surprising decision as a term is further evaluated especially with regards to the relevant practice of the Supreme Court and of the Constitutional Court. In connection with the phenomenon of the so-called surprising decision also the court´s information duty under provision of section 118a subsection 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure is analysed as one of the instruments guaranteeing the foreseeability of judicial decisions.
