The right to lodge a complaint or an application is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Complaints and applications in the Ministry of Infrastructure are received by the Control Department. A petition is a referral, for example to a public authority, that falls within the scope of its tasks and competences.
The book may serve to remind and deepen one’s knowledge on issues related to the handling of complaints, petitions and applications and their procedures.
