While filing a petition and lawsuit pursuant to Article 61 Section 1 and Article 64 Section 2 of a relation between the state and the Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland, the legal church entity must produce its standing to file a petition (lawsuit), to support it and to acquire property rights. It must prove that it is the legal church entity that had been deprived of real estate ownership as a result of its nationalization (identity of entities), or a legal successor of this entity. Filing a claim to regain a nationalized property does not depend on whether this property was owned by the legal entity. There may be a legal succession in the strict sense of the word, or a right to regain the ownership of a property formerly owned by a legal entity of this Church (sensu largo succession), as stipulated by a relation between the state and the Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland. Identity or legal succession of legal church entities require an indication of legal basis in both canon law and Polish law. To meet this requirement, one must provide an interpretation of substantive and procedural law. However, it goes without saying that after unilateral termination of concordat from 1925 until 23 May 1989, there were no such legal norms in Polish law, because the legislator at that time avoided passing such legal norms, in spite of the existence of the binding regulation of the Constitution of the Polish People’s Republic in this respect. These issues have been analysed in detail in the article, using an example of nationalization and revindication of the real estate of a convent of Augustinian Fathers in Krakow.
