On 14 April 2015, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal rendered a ruling that triggered a great commotion on the Polish market of banking services. The Tribunal declared Article 96 sec. 1 and Article 97 sec. 1 of the Banking Act – regulations constituting Banking Enforcement Title – as contrary to the principle of equality (case No P 45/12). In response to the judgment, the state legislator derogated this instrument from the Polish legal system with effect from 27 November 2015.
- Introduction to General Issues
As in other contemporary legal systems, the concept of “private law” in Poland covers several classical domains. The fundament and core of it are four areas, distinguished as books of the Polish Civil Code (the “CC”): the general part, property law, the law of obligations and inheritance law. Their array corresponds with analogous notions in other legal systems adopting a pandectistic approach towards structuring legal matter.
