Summary/Abstract: The commentary summarises the judgment of the Supreme Court which clarified that the acquiring company is a legal successor of the target company in competition law proceedings, where a decision imposing a fine was originally addressed to the target company but delivered already to the acquiring company. Due to lack of specific rules in the Polish Competition Act governing legal succession, the Supreme Court strongly recommended the introduction of such rules.
