Abstract
The article discusses the issue of obtaining information on the use of wiretapping under the
Act on Access to Public Information. Whereas the administrative courts have been adjudicating
in cases concerning access to public information for over 21 years, taking into account
the implementation of the public subjective right stipulated in Art. 61 of the Constitution
of the Republic of Poland and that they have adopted a broad meaning of the term “public
information” in their case law, as well as the subjective scope of beneficiaries entitled to access
to public information, there are still doubts as to the possibility of providing information to
a person under surveillance. Both the case law of the Provincial Administrative Court and the
Supreme Administrative Court have been cited, which plays an important role in understanding
the terms contained in the act and which also arouses great interest of the public opinion.
