Parties to Proceedings in Cases of Issuing Decisions on Environmental Determinants

The aim of this study is to present rules on establishing the catalogue of parties to proceedings in cases for issuing decisions on environmental determinants. The analysis, based on investigation of the law in force and examination of the law in the historical angle, shows that entities that to whom an authority refuses to grant the status of a party in proceedings for issuing an environmental decision find it difficult to evidence their legal interest in these proceedings due to no access to relevant documents and case files.
