Summary/Abstract: The extraordinary situation in which entrepreneurs and public administration bodies found themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic had its impact also on Polish legal regulations. The exceptional circumstances had their bearing on the provisions of the Polish Law on Entrepreneurs Act of 6 March 2018 under which the manner in which inspection bodies contact inspected businesses, has changed in the wake of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment to the provisions of the Law on Entrepreneurs introduced into the Polish legal order a formula of the so-called remote or hybrid inspections of businesses. The purpose of this article is to present the conditions and principles of conducting remote and hybrid inspections in Poland.
