Selected remarks on policyholders protection in the draft of Polish act on insurance distribution

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce certain new solutions in field of policyholders protection drafted by Polish legislators in the process of IDD implementation (in B2C and B2B transactions). By the end of February 2018, the Insurance Distribution Act is to enter into force, fundamentally reshaping Polish insurance law. The Insurance Distribution Act draft includes a multitude of provisions aimed at improving and broadening legal mechanisms guaranteeing the rights and obligations of insurance customers. However, the current contents of the Insurance Distribution Act draft already raise doubts whether the legislative techniques are accurate and precise. The authors focus on the solutions chosen in the Insurance Distribution Act draft that constitute new quality for Polish policyholders, including consumers. This is preceded by overall remarks on the draft itself as well as the current state of insurance legislation in Poland and the notion of a consumer.
