Summary/Abstract: The article provides an analysis of the provisions of the Act on Counteracting Unfair Use of Superior Bargaining Power from an institutional perspective. A set of arguments is presented supporting the view of the incorrectness of the provision whereby the UOKiK President is responsible for the implementation of this Act. The rules of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection provide a point of reference for the analysis contained in this article. The author stipulates that competences with respect to counteracting the unfair use of superior bargaining power should be transferred from the UOKiK President to a specialized administrative body in the agricultural sector.
