Summary/Abstract: The subject of this comment is the judgment of the District Court in Jędrzejów of October 3, 2019 (I C 820/18). In this case, the court assumed that the Act of 24 November 2017 on package travel and linked travel arrangements, applies to the assessment of the effects of the client’s withdrawal from the package travel agreement, which was concluded on September 27, 2017, i.e. during provisions of the Act of 29 August 1997 on tourist services, and before the entry into force of the Act on package travel and linked travel arrangements,. The comment criticized this position, indicating that there were no grounds to apply the said Act in this case. In particular, the financial legal consequences of the client’s withdrawal from the contract cannot be considered in the context of art. 47 section 2 of this Act.
