Based on the Bierut Decree of 1945 were created the legal basis for the reconstruction the Polish Capital. However, from the very beginning, the ideological premises caused that even though, this legislation made possible the reconstruction of the Capital, it has become a spark of future legal, political and social problem. After 1989, the former owner or their legal successors began to apply for reimbursement of the property taken away from them (article 156, paragraph. 1 of the Code of Administrative Proceedings.) or the payment of compensation (article 160 of the Code of Administrative Proceedings. – repealed in 2004.). No time limit to rely on those provisions meant that society of Warsaw bear the enormous costs of this situation. The small property restitution law of 25 June was a solution to this situation. Unfortunately, the exogenous factors have caused that this law has not entered into force yet until today.
