Pre-packs in Poland: Developments and amendments to bankruptcy Law by Karol Tatara and Mateusz Kaliński

There have recently been important changes to Bankruptcy Law in Poland. They mainly regard consumer bankruptcy but they also had an impact on other areas of insolvency. The pre-packs (pre-packaged administration) have also been affected as the Act of 30 August 2019 amending Bankruptcy Law and other legal acts1 changes materially the pre-pack legislative framework.

First of all, from this law’s entering into force as of 24 March 2020, it will be clear that the pre-pack application may indicate more than one acquirer and the pre-pack is available also in consumer bankruptcy. At present these issues are not expressly regulated within Bankruptcy Law and courts issue inconsistent judgments in different regions of Poland.
