Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the impact of the President of UOKiK’s official Explanations concerning the imposition of fines for practices restricting competition on the case law of Polish courts.

She then presents selected judgments of Polish courts, which apply or invoke the methodology applied by the President of UOKiK to a various degree. Finally, the article raises concerns pertaining to the application by courts of methodology taken from a non-binding document.
