Prolegomena na 90-lecie polskiego notariatu w interdyscyplinarnym spojrzeniu Monteskiuszowej władzy sądowniczej (część II)

The 90th anniversary of the Polish notary public (1934-2024) does not present the history of the notary public sensu scricto, but provides an opportunity to present the evolution of the institution in the syste-mic and professional dimensions of the notary public. Despite the volatile Realpolitik, the public notary reconciles the provision of the public interest and its protection with the individual interests of the par-ties to a notarial act. In accordance with the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, the author situates the notary public in the broad sense of complicity with the judiciary as a legal protection body. At the same time, he points out practical deviations far from the Monteskian separation of powers „On the spirit of rights”. He proposes to amend the Code of Professional Ethics of Notaries by adding a separate chapter strengthening the no-tary public’s self-government.
