Decyzja tymczasowa w sprawach konsumenckich – nowy instrument reakcji na praktyki zagrażające zbiorowym interesom konsumentów
A provisional decision on consumer matters – a new instrument for responding to practices threatening the collective interests of consumers

Summary/Abstract: Strengthening consumer protection was among the objectives of an amendment introduced on 5 August 2015 to the Polish Act on the Protection of Competition and Consumers (Journal of Laws, Dz.U. 2015, item 1634). The legal instrument meant to ensure this is a ‘provisional decision’ issued before the end of proceedings regarding practices violating collective consumer interests. This paper’s objective is to analyse the nature of provisional decisions issued in the course of proceedings regarding practices violating collective consumer interests. Having regard to the prerequisites for the issuance of a provisional decision, it is also considered whether it will become an instrument facilitating quick responses to practices threatening collective consumer interests.
