Summary/Abstract: Unfair market practices ought to be regarded as one of the signs of abusing economic freedom in the market economy. Under Polish law, this matter is regulated by the 23 August 2007 act of countering unfair market practices. Among the fundamental issues of this legal act is a three-stage legal structure concerning the unfairness of market practices. It sets out legal guidelines for entrepreneurs on permissible conduct related directly to promoting or purchasing a product by a consumer. This structure is based on a reference to a non-legislative system of judgements and values which is subject to the good manners general clause. It is included in the legal definition of unfair market practices. The second stage of this regulation is a specification of the basic types of unfair practices, namely the misleading and aggressive ones. A supplement to the established assumptions concerning the legal definition of unfair market practices is the so-called black list of unfair practices in all circumstances.
