The Polish Petitions Act does not prescribe a comprehensive manner of proceedings regarding petitions, and in matters which it does not regulate refers to the provisions of the Polish Code of Administrative Procedure (CAP). The reference the Petitions Act makes in its Article 15 is external, further, general and dynamic. Proceedings relating to petitions are not jurisdictional administrative proceedings and are not intended to handle administrative matters. They have the features of independent single-instance simplified administrative proceedings. In view of the nature of petitions, there are three ways in which the CAP may be properly applied: by the direct application of its provisions, by its application with some modifications, and by its disregard due to non-applicability, or to the contradictory nature of the respective provisions in the Code and in the Petitions Act. The provisions for jurisdictional administrative proceedings are to be applied to a limited extent for matters such as serving notice, defining deadlines, and also by the application of certain general principles. The provisions of Section VIII of the CAP are to be applied in a broader scope, due to the similar nature of petitions and complaints and requests.
