Summary/Abstract: “Judgment reserved for qualified judges” - is a statement which will is not most likely soon (if ever) going to become outdated in relation to the judicial process in Polish legal system. Can it not be assumed, however, that within a few dozen years, apart from the judges, the judgements will be held by specialized computers that would be able to faultlessly assess the legitimacy of the submitted claims? At present, it is difficult to predict whether the so-called human factor will ever be supported or even replaced by artificial intelligence in the process of issuing judgements. However, if this were to happen and some of the cases could be recognized by machine systems, it might be an effective solution to the problem of protracted proceedings in courts. Undoubtedly, a specialized computer program that could subsume certain “rigid” arrangements from the point of view of specific legal norms could also prepare a solution for a specific content - based on “experience” gained from the analysis of hundreds or even thousands of analogous court cases. Could such application be utilised, for example, regarding legitim cases? In my paper, I will attempt to answer the question of whether the “human factor” is irreplaceable when dealing with a legitim case, or whether it could as well be replaced by the “robot of the future”, expert in the analysis of claims of this kind. Solving the above issue undoubtedly requires consideration of whether a court ruling on a legitim case boils down to applying specific legal rules and making mathematical calculation on their basis, or it requires real person, a judge who could take a human view of the case.
