| Summary: | The Act on the Exercise of the Right to Compensation for Property Left Beyond the Current Borders
of the Republic of Poland, adopted on 8 July 2005, was intended to complete the process of
compensation for real properties left in the former eastern voivodeships of the interwar Republic
of Poland. The implementation of the Act lasts for 15 years now and will probably not end before
the year 2030.
The article addresses the most important factors that have contributed to the prolongation of the
compensation payment process, and thus the final settlement of the obligations resting upon Poland
towards people who lived on the former Polish territories beyond the Bug River, known in the
Polish language as “Zabużanie”. The analysis is based primarily on the information obtained from
voivodes (who are the bodies of primary jurisdiction in the proceedings for confirmation of the right
to compensation), the Ministry of the State Treasury and the Ministry of the Interior and Administration.
An analysis of statement of reasons for the judgements has proven to be essential as well.
