Courts are increasingly dealing with disputes over mail submitted via parcel machines, as there are no clear rules on whether closing the door constitutes a legal stamp.
Legal Uncertainty in Parcel Mail
Currently, there are no uniform and clear rules regarding the submission of letters addressed to courts via parcel machines. This creates legal uncertainty for both senders and recipients.
Parcel Machines vs. Traditional Post
The issue arises because parcel lockers are not official facilities of Polish Post, which traditionally handles official mail delivery and has established protocols for legal stamps and receipts.
Courts Take Notice
Courts are beginning to recognize this problem, with judgments already being issued in disputes related to this type of mail submission through parcel machines.
Call for Standardization
Legal professionals are advocating for the establishment of uniform and transparent rules to address the current gaps in the system for court mail submitted via parcel machines.
