What are the rules of publication of court decisions? Is it possible to publish those decisions online?

The matters presented in the question shall be considered according to other acts than the Act of August 29, 1997 on the Protection of Personal Data (unified text: Journal of Laws of July 6, 2002, No. 101, item 926 with amendments). Article 27 paragraph 2 point 2 of the Act states, that the processing of sensitive data, such as decisions on penalty, fines and other decisions issued in court or administrative proceedings shall not constitute a breach of the Act where the specific provisions of other statute provide for the processing of such data without the data subject's consent and provide for adequate safeguards.

If such judgement is published as an online press-article the publication should be subject to the provisions of the Act - Press Law of 26 January 1984 (Journal of Laws No. 5, item 24 with amendments).

Pursuant to the provisions of the Executive Penal Code of 6 June 1997 (Journal of Laws No. 90, item 557 with amendments) the court may decide to make the judgement publicly known if there was no proper indication in the judgement. In case of the press publication of the judgement the court sends the description of the judgement with recommendation to print it in one of the upcoming numbers of the magazine.

According to the Article 215 of the Penal Code of 6 July, 1997 (Journal of Laws No. 88, item 553 with amendments) the convicting judgement can be made publicly known upon the request lodged by the aggrieved party.

All publications of national courts judgements are anonymous in order to protect the personal rights of human beings. Therefore all cases are identified by reference numbers and not by the identities of the parties to the case.
