Rozszerzenie kręgu podmiotów uprawnionych do skorzystania ze szczególnej ochrony konsumenckiej

The article aims to analyze and evaluate the last amendment of the Civil Code by which articles 3855, 5564, 5765 enter into force. These regulations are expanding the group of entities entitled to consumer protection. New provisions, by the intention of the legislator, are to provide entrepreneurs who are natural persons concluding contracts with entrepreneurs with the stronger market position the same protection as provided for consumers in the scope of the use of abusive clauses, warranty for defects and the right to withdraw from a distance or off-premises contract. The introduced regulation raises some theoretical and practical doubts. They result from the unclear terms used by the legislator and from giving decisive importance to the data contained in CEIDG when qualifying contracts in terms of their professional nature.
