Summary/Abstract: On 14 April 2016, the Polish Parliament adopted the Act on suspending the sales of properties from the Agricultural Property Stock of the State Treasury and amending several other acts. By doing so, it decided to materially amend the Act on shaping of the agricultural system of 11 April 2003 that had been effective by that time, by founding a new, strict regime of trading in agricultural property in Poland that came into force as of 30 April 2016. Already upon drafting the new legal solutions, a number of remarks and reservations were made in the public debate and during the consultation process. It was pointed out that once it becomes effective, the bill considered by the Parliament would actually “freeze” agricultural property transactions in Poland, become a threat to execution of the right to inherit, and undermine the right ongoing interests initiated by law entities. These were some of the reasons why, in the course of legislative proceedings, the legislator decided to apply exclusions from the new legal regulations concerning trading in agricultural property. The objective of this article is to identify and characterise selected exclusions applied by the legislator, as well as to explain uncertainties related to interpretation with regards to legal norm hypotheses that specify the application scope of the implemented legal solutions.
