ustawowych

Ustawowych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective ustawowy, which means statutory or mandated by law. The term is used in formal, administrative and legal language to describe provisions, requirements or conditions that are defined by statute rather than created by private agreement or administrative regulation. The root ustaw- comes from ustawawa, i.e., statute or act, and the suffix -owy marks a relation to the noun being described.

In practice, ustawowy is used to denote things tied to law. Examples include przepis ustawowy (a statutory provision), limity ustawowe (statutory limits), or prawa ustawowe (statutory rights). When these adjectives occur with plural nouns in certain grammatical cases, the form ustawowych appears, for instance in przepisów ustawowych (genitive plural: “statutory provisions”) or other phrases where the noun is in a case requiring the genitive plural.

The term is predominantly found in legal, political and governmental texts. It helps distinguish rules, expectations or measurements that are mandated by statute from those that arise from contracts, regulations issued by authorities, or voluntary standards. While closely related, ustawowy is distinct from related adjectives such as prawny (legal) and ustawowy’s broader context, which centers specifically on statutory authority and legally enacted norms.

In summary, ustawowych signals a statutory or legally defined characteristic, typically used as part of phrases describing statutory provisions, requirements or rights.
