Przegląd orzecznictwa Naczelnego Sądu Lekarskiego z 2014 r
Review of the Supreme Medical Court

Summary/Abstract: In the Polish legal system, court decisions, and particularly concerning physicians, as a rule, do not have, in our legal system, the nature of legal precedents. Such decisions cannot create a new legal norm but only offer a practical interpretation of the pieces of legislation. In the case ofmedical courts, the situation in this respect is all the more complicated, given the content of Art.76 of the Code of Medical Ethics (NSL). Thus, under this provision, in cases not provided for inthe Code of Medical Ethics, they should be guided by the principles enshrined also in the jurisprudenceof medical courts. The views and arguments of NSL have so much importance, becausethe NSL is the court of appeal for decisions of district medical courts. Hence the need for the publicationof selected decisions of the NSL in 2014.
