Glosa krytyczna do uchwały składu 7 sędziów Sądu Najwyższego z 25 lutego 2016 r. (I KZP 20/15)

The Supreme Court’s resolution of 25 February 2016 states that the statutory term „person in cohabitation” permits the absence of gender difference, extending in practice new civil and criminal-procedural rights of homosexual couples. It also points to physical, spiritual and economic ties between partners, but if one of them is objectively justified, it does not change the nature of a relationship at all. This is the same field for numerous abuses. Resolution breaks as a consequence with the dominant and long-established case law and opinion of doctrine, degrading role and social mission of the family. As a result of the broad and inconsistent interpretation of notion as well incompatibility with argumentation of the Constitutional Tribunal the use of term for specific situations can cause a number of interpretational doubts and deepen legal chaos.
