ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the complex landscape of consumer collective redress in Poland. It begins by presenting the legislative framework outlined in the Act of 17 December 2009 on Pursuing Claims in Group Proceedings (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act on Group Proceedings’). Next, based on empirical research conducted at the District Court in Warsaw, the chapter analyses how group proceedings function in practice. Finally, it examines the recent legislative changes introduced by the implementation of RAD in Poland and addresses whether and how the new law will alter the landscape of group proceedings in Poland and impact consumers’ ability to enforce their rights collectively.
