In common law countries, the executor’s first task is to locate and take possession of assets the deceased left behind to protect them during the probate process. This is not the case in Poland. In Poland, the beneficiaries have to locate the assets themselves and verify the legal title of the assets. The task of locating assets can be difficult because the beneficiaries are not formally authorized to have access to all registers and data. Every bank or register will ask for the inheritance certificate. What is it?

“Actori incumbit probatio” is a Latin legal maxim that means “the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff.” This principle is an important aspect of the legal system in civil law jurisdictions such as Poland.
The principle of “Actori incumbit probatio” means that the plaintiff in a legal dispute has the responsibility to provide evidence to support their claims. The defendant is not required to prove their innocence or disprove the plaintiff’s claims unless the plaintiff has met their burden of proof. In other words, the plaintiff must present evidence to convince the court that their claims are true and if they fail to meet this burden, their case may be dismissed. This principle helps to ensure that legal decisions are based on evidence and not just on accusations or allegations.

Polskie prawo przewiduje dwie instytucje, które pozbawiają osoby najbliższe prawa do zachowku.
Po pierwsze, może to uczynić sam spadkodawca w testamencie poprzez wydziedziczenie.
Po drugie, spadkobierca, zapisobierca oraz uprawniony do zachowku, może zostać uznany przez sąd za niegodnego dziedziczenia.
Obydwie te instytucje mają zastosowanie wyłącznie w przypadkach ściśle określonych przez prawo – muszą istnieć poważne powody zawinione przez osobę uprawnioną do zachowku. Nie wystarczy niechęć spadkodawcy do jednego z dzieci i jednoczesna wielka miłość do innego dziecka.

When the deceased dies leaving a will, the heirs entitled to deal with the estate are named in the will. When no will is left, the intestacy laws tell us who is entitled to inherit the estate.
Succession under Polish law refers to the transfer of assets and liabilities to one or more heirs due to someone’s death. The succession procedure starts when someone dies and it ends with allocation of the estate to the heir, or if more than one heir with the division of the assets. The heirs may inherit the deceased’s entire estate or part of it, as per their shares. They are required to accept the succession to inherit the share of the estate they are entitled.

Competition law is not only a concern for big companies - smaller firms and even charities have been among the recent targets of the Polish Antimonopoly Authority and the European Commission investigations, with the prospect of fines of up to 10 percent of turnover where infringements are discovered. It is now vital for every manager to have a working knowledge of the competition law and be aware of the consequences, especially in the case of group companies.
On 9 April 2024 new guidelines on penalties for competition law infringements were issued by the Polish Antimonopoly Authority. The UOKiK’s previous guidelines on penalties did not provide guidance on how the Office would calculate penalties in a situation where the penalty should be imposed both on a direct infringer in Poland and on its parent company abroad. Liability of parent companies for anti-competitive practices was added to the Polish competition law in May 2023.

If you’re a small business owner in Poland, you should not worry too much about the new guidelines issues on 9 April by the Polish Antitrust Authority on penalties for competition law infringements. This does not apply to you. However, if you’re a part of the capital group operating in Poland, you should be aware about these new guidelines on penalties because it could be about you. Competition law is not only a concern for big companies - smaller firms and even charities have been among the recent targets of antitrust authorities in Europe.
Based on the new guidelines (which will apply to cases initiated after 1 January 2024) penalties for competition law infringements could reach in practice the maximum level of up to 10% of worldwide turnover of the entire capital group. Moreover, the directors of a parent company can also obtain a severe penalty.
