Specificity, hereinafter referred to as the crisis shield 2.0., amendments were made In the Act dated 23 November 2012 postal law. The changes made concern, among other things, an extremely important issue: delivery of registered consignments (recommended letters).
To Article 37 Post law laws added point 4a, according to which, in emergency situations or in the event of an outbreak or an outbreak, the registered mail can be delivered to the addressee to his transmitting mailbox. This means that the mailman is not obliged to deliver the registered letter to his own hands. Consequently, there will be no proof of delivery to the addressee. The use of such delivery by the Polish Post requires neither the request nor the consent of the addressee. However, this method of service shall not apply to consignments sent to or dispatched by:
- 1) courts and tribunals;
- 2) the prosecution and other law enforcement authorities;
- 3) the court bailiff.
However, this exception does not cover consignments sent to or sent by various types of government offices or other state institutions.
This solution is controversial and can cause many problems in the future. Service, though on first They seem to be a simple matter, in practice they cause many disputes and are an extremely important element in every case, not only in court but also before various offices, such as the tax office or other institutions. The lack of proof of service relates primarily to the question of how to count the possible time limit set for carrying out the legal act specified in the served letter.
However, we hope that this regulation will soon be clarified, and that the list of exceptions will also include offices and other state institutions.
