Abstract

The subject of this article is an appraisal of the level of legal independence of Poland’s railway regulatory authority – the President of the Office of Rail Transportation – by using Fabrizio Gilardi's model. The assessment considers the social and legal background of the regulator's actions, as well as a variety of factors determining the authority’s legal position. The assessment is made by quantifying the most important of these circumstances. The article considers also to what a degree the Polish legislator has fulfilled its role to ensure an appropriate status of the national railway regulator.
