Prawo jako listek figowy albo etykieta
Law as a Leaf or Label

Summary/Abstract: The essay discusses the divergence existing between the literally understood text of law and the meaning attributed to it in various interpretative discourses; it also points to the ignorance of some discourse participants as to the existence of this divergence and the attempts to manipulate this divergence to economic purposes (profit maximization, “interpretative wars”). It also touches upon the problem of the effective legal protection of citizen’s and consumer’s interests. In the conclusion, it is stressed that people’s confidence in law is the foundation on which a healthy economy relies.
