Loyalty in Civil-Law Relationships as Found in the Polish Law
Loyalty in Civil-Law Relationships as Found in the Polish Law

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses manifestations of loyalty as found in selected civil-law regulations, as well as the possible consequences of disloyalty, either during negotiations or for the duration of the obligation relationship, and as exemplified by Actio pauliana. Furthermore, it explores situations where ‘contractual’ loyalty stands in conflict with behaviour loyal towards other participants in the economy. It has been established that the categories of norms wherein broadly understood loyalty plays a special role are a part of the civil-law principles. It has been demonstrated that due to the unique nature of each situation, the introduction of the duty of loyalty as a general directive would be undesirable.
