The witness interrogation protocol as evidence in another case

The article discusses the significance of using witness testimony from one legal proceeding as evidence in another. It highlights the limitations imposed by the principle of direct evidence presentation in civil court proceedings, as outlined in Article 235 § 1 of the Polish Civil Procedure Code. The Supreme Court's varied interpretations of this principle are examined, particularly referencing a ruling from 1971 that criticized relying on evidence from other cases instead of conducting independent fact-finding in the current case.
