Notarial self-governance bodies cannot set fee rules; only state organs have this authority under Polish law.

The Supreme Court partially dismissed the Ministry of Justice's appeal against a notary chamber's resolution on fee standards. The court found that while the chamber lacked authority to set mandatory fee rules, it did have the power to request information and conduct inspections to prevent illegal payments. Consequently, the resolution's section on setting fee principles was struck down, but the sections regarding oversight and information requests were upheld.
