Summary/Abstract: The repeal of the resolution of the Ethics Committee by the Presidium of the Polish Sejm under Article 22 Paragraph 3 point 1 in conjunction with Article 147 Paragraph 4 and Article 132 Paragraph 2 of the Standing Orders of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland lead to closure of the case. There are no adequate normative basis, which would indicate the possibility of a retrial by the Presidium of the Sejm. Discontinuance of proceedings by the Presidium of the Sejm stimulates a state of rei iudicatae. Outside the scope of review remains the legal assessment of this resolution and its justification, which implies that the procedural irregularities in the proceedings conducted by the Deputies’ Ethics Committee are a sufficient condition for the repeal of the resolution of the Committee, and consequently the closure of the case.
