- The article discusses the issue of legal liability of managers set out in the Polish competition and consumer protection law, resulting from the Act of 16 February 2007 on competition and consumer protection (Dz. U. (Journal of Laws) of 2021, item 275) (hereinafter: Competition Act). The starting point for my reflections is the provisions of the Competition Act providing for financial liability of persons in managerial positions for infringing prohibitions resulting from competition law (Article 106a of the Competition Act). In Polish law this type of liability is subsidiary to the liability of undertakings. It was also introduced to the Competition Act relatively recently, after the principles of undertakings’ liability for infringements of competition law had been formed and developed. My goal is to present the scope of managers’ liability and present conclusions resulting from the recent, still rather innumerable, case law of the Polish Competition Authority (President of Office for Competition and Consumer Protection, UOKiK). Due to the quasi-criminal nature of Article 106a, I propose my own reflections on the development of managers’ liability considering whether the law and judicial decisions recognize adequate standards of their rights.
