Summary/Abstract: The Polish legislator faces the introduction of the Act on claims for damages arising from competition law infringements. The above Act comprehensively regulates the issue of private enforcement. The implementation of the new legislation is necessary due to the laps (as of 27 December 2016) of the deadline for the implementation into national legislation of the Member States of the European Union of Directive 2014/104/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on certain rules governing actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions of the Member States and of the European Union. The draft act regulating the procedure for bringing before civil courts claims based on a breach of competition law modifies, for example, the general statute of limitations for damages claims. This article provides an analysis of EU rules applicable to national laws and draft changes in the limitation of claims for damages arising from a breach of competition rules.
