Rekompensata publiczna a inne środki usunięcia trwających skutków naruszenia zbiorowych interesów konsumentów
Public compensation and other measures to remove the continuing effects of an infringement of collective consumer interests

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of decisions issued in cases of practices violating collective consumer interests makes it possible to conclude that the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKIK) is increasingly ‘using’ means which are not typical repressive instruments within the meaning of public competition law. Public compensation allows the competition authority to order or oblige the offending entrepreneur to take specific (marked) actions towards consumers. These may take the form of a material or intangible benefit. Public compensation is intended to remove the continuing effects of an infringement of collective consumer interests. This measure must not only be necessary to remove the effects of the practice, but also proportionate to the gravity and type of the infringement.
