Kary finansowe ustanowione w regulaminach zrzeszeń parlamentarnych

In the opinion, the author presents a thesis on the absolute invalidity of the legal act of establishing in the statute of a parliamentary club a financial penalty for violation of voting discipline. This is because, according to the author, this constitutes a violation of the freedom to exercise a mandate under Article 104 para. 1 of the Constitution. In addition, the opinion indicates that the funds received from the Chancellery of the Sejm should be the exclusive manner of covering the costs of the activities of parliamentary clubs and groups. The statute cannot, therefore, provide for the establishment of other manners of financing such as income from fines imposed on members of a club or group.
