Evidence in separate proceedings in commercial cases – assessment of the new legal regulation

Summary/Abstract: Background: Analysis of new legal regulations related to the conduct of evidentiary activities in separate proceedings in commercial cases, which were introduced by the Act of 4 July 2019 amending the Act on the Code of Civil Procedure and other acts. Research purpose: Assessing the effects of introduced legal regulations on obtaining appropriate legal protection in relation to commercial matters. Methods: Analysis of legal text and comparison with existing legal regulations. Conclusions: The analyses of the amended provisions lead to the conclusion that new legal instruments (such as the evidence agreement) as well as new evidence limitations applicable to separate proceedings in commercial cases will affect the economics of proceedings, but may lead to the issuance of decisions that are inconsistent with the actual state of affairs, based on evidence offered by the parties. The analysis of the provisions on evidence contracts leads to the conclusion that even if a given type of contract excludes evidence from the parties’ hearing, the court will be able to take that evidence and the introduction of such an exemption should be considered void.
