Proceedings before the court regarding the determination of the conformity of the content of a collective labour agreement with the provisions of labour law or the conformity with the provisions governing its conclusion

The Act on Collective Labour Agreements and Other Col­lective Labour Arrangements, adopted on 5 November, has, under Article 22, opened a broad procedural avenue for ju­dicial review of the legality of collective labour agreements. This provision establishes two categories of cases aimed at judicial scrutiny of the legality of such agreements: on the one hand, review of their substantive compliance with labour law provisions, and, on the other, review of their conformity with the regulations governing their conclusion. The former thus has a primarily substantive-law character, while the latter concerns matters of an organisational and procedural nature. These cases fall within the jurisdiction of the labour courts and are conducted under non-conten­tious proceedings. Despite certain shortcomings identified in this study, the procedural mechanisms established by the said Act give effect, within the Polish legal system, to the constitutional right of access to a court, thereby promoting the consolidation of the rule of law standards in employ­ment relations shaped by collective regulation.
