| Summary: | The findings of the research presented in this article constitute an integral
part of a research project conducted in the Department of Family and Juvenile Law of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the Cardinal Stefan
Wyszyński University, focusing on the involvement of a public prosecutor in
civil law cases, and taking particular account of non-property cases in family
law. The findings of this research were published in a monograph written
by the author of this article, its title translating as “A public prosecutor’s plaint
in non-property cases pertaining to family law” (published by C.H. Beck in
2016). The assumptions adopted in the said monograph rendered it impossible
to take into consideration all issues that emerged during the said research. The
findings presented here are supplementary to the aforementioned monograph.
<br/>The research findings show that the vast majority of the prosecutors interviewed believe that the current operating model of the prosecutor’s office – in
which civil, administrative and penal cases are connected – should be reorganised and should focus on civil law cases. Remodelling the training system
to embrace more non-penal issues, including civil law cases in particular, is
essential. As was rightly emphasised by one of the interviewees, this is essential
if the public prosecutor’s office is to function properly and effectively in regard
to civil law cases.
