Summary/Abstract: In the light of Article 163a Paragraph 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland the motion to adjourn the examination of the matter by a parliamentary committee is a procedural proposal, since it concerns the conduct of the committee that is hearing the case and does not lead to a decision on the merits. Although the rules of the Parliament don’t define the issue of “postponing” of the work of parliamentary committees, the deadline for the return to the matter should be clarified in some way. In this case the request for deferral of consideration by the committee, pending the outcome of the court. Although it does not indicate a specific date, it specifies a time of return.
