Abstract

The process of computerization of Polish public administration has been ongoing for years. It started in 2005. Undoubtedly, it is a factor which determines the development of a modern nation. In order for a functional nation to be efficient it should provide high quality services of public administration, which could be reached, i.a. thanks to computerization.

Computerization does not limit itself only to administration, but it concerns many other aspects of society. It is a tool supporting economic growth, economic innovativeness and creative possibilities of citizens. It contributes to a better quality of life. The state itself is responsible for the process of opening access to public resources and e-services available to citizens and companies. The state should contribute to creation of consistent and efficient system of information. The abovementioned goal will not be reached if there are no legal and formal conditions, which means making changes in legal and procedural environment. There is also a need for factual conditions, which means development of infrastructure that enables introduction of new solutions.

Administrative courts received those changes a little late on 31 May 2019. And there are many changes. It is possible to exchange the documents with parties of a proceeding via system of electronic communication, and dealing with case records is based on digital documents and a verified e-signature. Therefore, they are accessible 24/7.
