Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article – which was inspired by the latest proposal for an amendment to the Polish Penal Code (parliamentary paper no. 3451) – is to point out possible changes in the scope of a judicial sentencing. The article provides a critical analysis of the proposed changes relating to the general directives of a judicial sentencing, as well as a skeptical assessment of the attempt to indicate their hierarchy. It also makes objections to the proposal of introducing a set of circumstances which would have an aggravating or mitigating effect on the process of developing the judicial sentencing into the provisions of the Polish Penal Code.
