Summary/Abstract: The author claims that neither the Sejm nor any of its bodies is competent to reply to the notice. Due to the general and hypothetical nature of the allegations regarding the alleged damages suffered by the Investor, referring to them at this stage should be regarded as premature. From the statements contained in the notice it follows that the procedure for the resolution of disputes specified in Article 9 para. 2 of the Agreement of 1 May 1990 cannot be used in this respect. The indicated three-month time limit for resolving the dispute through negotiation is devoid of legal basis and, as such, not binding. If the dispute is described in the notice will be the subject of court proceedings, differences in the answers given by each recipient of the notice may be used against Poland or the State Treasury. For this reason, it is worth considering coordinating the preparation of response to the notice by all its recipients to prevent a disparity between them.
