Streszczenie
The article is devoted to the analysis of the institution in charge of clarifying activities
in cases concerning petty offences.
The author discussed the objective, the character of clarifying activities, and the conditions
of their application and also the significance of these activities in the proceeding. The
evolution of the scrutinised institution in the development of the Polish petty offences law
was shown in the article; attention was also paid to the proposal of successive changes that
can lead to the simplification and the acceleration in the proceedings concerning cases
prosecuted as petty offence. The realisation of this objective is aimed at, among others, the
introduction of obligatory requirement of establishing the clarifying activities before placing
the motion for punishment by the public prosecutor and also the necessity of interrogation
of the suspect during these activities.
