Merger, Division, Transformation and Acquisition of Companies under the New Act on Liability of Collective Entities. General Issues and Divisions

This paper highlights selected issues concerning the new regulation of mergers, divisions, transformations and acquisitions of companies under the proposal for the new Act on Liability of Collective Entities for Acts Prohibited under the Penalty. The new While the old Act of 2002 does not create any regulation in that sphere of company law and its practical usage is marginal, the undisputed position of legal doctrine is that the rules of universal succession (for mergers and divisions), created in the field of company law, cannot be transposed into the area of repressive liability of collective entities. The new Act not only changes that status, creating its own, direct regulations of succession and continuation of liability in case of mergers, divisions and transformations of collective entities (companies), but also adds rules on such succession even in connection with simple and massive transactions of acquisition of companies and their assets.

The Matter of Limitation Period of Administrative Penalties by the Example of Energy Law

The limitation period plays a crucial role in any legal system. It is commonly used in the fields of criminal and civil law. As for the administrative law, the regulation was introduced partially and in an inconsistent way. The Polish Constitutional Court pointed out, that one cannot claim its right or even expectative for setting up the limitation period in the field of administrative law. Nonetheless, once introduced in the legal system, the limitation period has to fulfill the requirements resulting from the Constitution. As for the energy law, the limitation period was introduced in 2015 by providing the reference to the provisions of Tax Code. However, the reference to the provisions of Tax Code concerning the limitation period were partially removed just one year later. The reform of Administrative Procedure Code introducing inter alia the rules for the limitation period of imposing and executing administrative penalties, was supposed to provide the general provisions applicable to all persons and legal entities. Nevertheless, due to the inconsistent regulations contained in multiple legal acts, such as the Energy Act, the usage of limitation period still casts doubt.

The Influence of the Definition of Stationary Technical Unit on Meeting the Criteria of Participation in the EU Emission Trading System

The transposition of the EU ETS directive in Poland causes several interpretation problems. The biggest concern is caused by the imprecise definition of the stationary technical unit, which forces the installations’ operators to function in state of uncertainty. The primary reason for this is that the word unit in Polish language might be translated in various manners. The choice of Polish legislator does not allow the operators that have several devices that only jointly meet the requirements of Annex I of the EU ETS directive to have the capability of defining whether they will be regarded as one installation or several technical units that do not meet the participation criteria of EU ETS. The problem of practical nature, which is shown by the response of Ministry of Environment of Republic of Poland to the author’s motion for disclosure of public information. The article focuses on the problem itself, the Ministry of Environment response, as well as de lege ferenda considerations.
