Wyroki nieistniejące w postępowaniu cywilnym ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wad związanych z notyfikacją wyroku

The premise of this article is to contribute to the clarification of the basic issues related to the occurrence of non-existent judgments under Polish civil procedure. In the initial part of the work, the conceptual scope of the judgment was systematized and a catalogue of its constitutive elements was presented. Next, two levels of non-existence of the judgment are highlighted: factual and legal. The article attempts to catalogue the defects of the judgment, the occurrence of which results in its nonexistence, as well as their analysis. Particular attention was paid to the notification of the judgment and the consequences of failures in this respect. In the last part of the article conclusions were formulated, where primacy was given to the answer to the question of what the non-existent judgment really is (sententia non existens).
