Summary/Abstract: This article is based on the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-303/23, PZU S.A. v. Volvia. In this case, the Court unequivocally recognized an insurance contract in which the policyholder was an entrepreneur as a commercial transaction within the meaning of Directive 2011/7/EU. Thus, it prejudged the applicability of the Act of 8 March 2013 on Prevention of Excessive Delay in Commercial Transactions to similar factual situations as in the present case. The article explains the most important legal issues that relate – in the context of the application of the Act – to insurance contracts.
