Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the problem of the relationship between the rights of defence of the parties in the proceedings before the President of UOKiK and the protection of trade secrets. The issue has been assessed taking into account the notion of the application of soft law by the Authority, including the information on how to submit applications to restrict the right to access in the proceeding. The text took into account the problem of the outdated soft law and possible risk for entrepreneurs following the instructions of the President of UOKiK.
