The evolution of Polish bankruptcy law in the context of the general scheme of historical and legal research

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the development of the Polish bankruptcy law of bankruptcy law in the legal historical aspect. The first part discusses the research model used in the historical-legal research model from the perspectives of the idealization concept of science. Three stages of the development of bankruptcy law were presented. The analysis referred to both legal acts and non-source knowledge, which is, inter alia, knowledge of economic conditions. The article shows that it is not possible to reconstruct the normative content in isolation from the social and economic conditions. On the basis of the analysis of the development of the broadly understood bankruptcy law in Polish legislation, two trends in the development of this area of law have been demonstrated in the article. The first one pointing to the primacy of restructuring (repairing) proceedings aimed at preserving a functioning debtor's enterprise. The second, concerning the extension of the subjective scope of bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings, to entities that do not conduct business. Time will tell if these trends are right and will contribute to the objectives.
