Abstract
The article discusses 100 days of the Act of 15th December 2016 on the unfair use of contractual advantage in the trade in agricultural and food products. The author describes the cases that the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (referred as the President of the UOKIK) is currently dealing with along with other instruments used as a tool in combating unfair practices. Next issue tackled is the cooperation of the President of the UOKiK with other relevant bodies in the context of handled cases and possible legislation process. Afterwards the author analyses the popularization of the Act among the public and the obstacles met with its application. The author stresses that at this moment crucial seems to be finding an accurate meaning of the term public interest used in the context of the Act and the flexible approach to the scope of practices described as unfair (keeping in mind the economic analyses). As a result, the author states that despite the very limited time of the Act in force there have been numerous actions taken. Still there are ambiguous terms of the Act that should be elaborated by the court’s ruling and the doctrine.
