Abstract: Individual information rights of a councillor The aim of the monograph is to answer the research question whether the introduction of individual information rights of councillor, which took place under the Act of 11 January 2018, had a positive impact on the legal status of councillors of a local government unit. The subject of the considerations is the legal instrument which, since 2018, grants the councillor the right to obtain information and materials, enter the premises where this information and materials are located, and inspect the activities of the indicated entities. These rights, referred to as “individual information rights”, were modelled on the rights of members of parliament. The work analyses the challenges and legal problems related to the application of regulations concerning the information rights of councillors. The jurisprudence of administrative courts regarding the information rights of councillors, as well as the literature on the rights of members of parliament, were extensively analysed. The monograph is addressed not only to researchers of public administration, administrative law (including local government law), but also to representatives of local authorities, including councillors of all types of local government units.
