Parliamentary Control of Public Administration Bodies on the Example of Parliamentary Interventions and Their Quasi-Imperious Aspects

Abstract

The main aim of the article is to show parliamentary control over public administration bodies in the context of quasi-imperial influence on these bodies through parliamentary interventions. The considerations are divided into several parts. The first one concerns the definition of key concepts relevant to the discussed topic, such as control, parliamentary control and supervision. The second part addresses the position of the Polish Sejm and Senate in the context of their constitutional role and their ability to control public administration bodies. The third part focuses directly on the quasi-imperious aspects associated with the use of parliamentary interventions. The rationale behind addressing this topic is the improper use of this right by parliamentarians, who through their partially extra-legal quasi-authoritarian actions can essentially compel controlled entities to handle matters in a specified manner and within a designated timeframe, thereby exceeding the bounds of ordinary control. The analysis of these issues requires the use of a dogmatic-legal method as the primary research method.
