Abstract
The article focuses on the proposed amendments to the Polish Competition Act which would introduce the institution of an individual’s liability for allowing an undertaking to commit a violation of the prohibition of anti-competitive practices. Discussed first is the liability of individuals on the basis of current provisions of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection (i.e. procedural infringements liability). Presented next are the main assumptions surrounding an individual’s liability as currently proposed by the Polish Antitrust Authority (i.e. substantive liability sensu stricto). These assumptions are confronted with the comments already submitted by, among others, the Polish Competition Law Association and the CARS Working Group. Presented in conclusions is the Author’s own evaluation of an individual’s liability taking into account the comparative law approach and the achievements of the doctrine.
