BAILIFF - CLERK, ENTREPRENEUR

Abstract

Writing and speaking about court bailiffs is rare, if any, before the election
or on some occasional matter. In the media it is difficult to find news about the
success of bailiffs, those that appear are related to scandals with their participation.
For many, a bailiff is a profession of a special caste with undetermined belonging. The
average Pole is not aware whether the bailiff is an official, public official or selfemployed
entrepreneur. "The question of who needs this profession and what its status
should be (...)"; appears rarely or does not appear at all. Therefore, the author wishes
to consider or approach the question whether the profession of court bailiff should
belong to the category of civil servants or whether or not - as many other professions
should be treated as non-agricultural economic activity.
