Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the change in the jurisprudential trend of common courts visible in cases concerning actions for the recognition of contract terms as being unfair. The author identifies a drastic increase in the number of lawsuits filed by quasi-consumer organizations as the principal cause for the above change which now results in many lawsuits concerning unfair contractual terms (listed on the register kept by the President of UOKiK) being rejected by common courts.
