Summary/Abstract: The article aims at comparing inspections and searches, two procedures used by the UOKiK President to obtain evidence of anticompetitive practices. The paper does not provide an exhaustive description of these two institutions but rather, it shows them from the point of view of their significant similarities and differences. The analysis is limited to antitrust cases where the two discussed tools play an incomparably greater role than in consumer cases where their application is rare.
