The rapid advancements in digital technology are accelerating the process of digital transformation, not only within the traditional information and communication technology (ICT) sector but across all industrial ecosystems. This is fundamentally reshaping the global landscape of technological, social, and economic progress and presenting numerous challenges to the EU’s competitive standing. Achieving and bolstering digital leadership has now become a pivotal driver for the EU’s competitiveness, as well as a prerequisite for successfully navigating the twin transitions and ensuring future prosperity within the EU. Consequently, the mastery of essential and emerging digital technologies is deemed vital for the EU to maintain its strategic independence.
Article 361 of the Polish bankruptcy law provides for an order for the court to discontinue bankruptcy proceedings as soon as the conditions listed exhaustively in this provision occur (resolution of the Regional Court in Szczecin of December 23, 2015, VIII Gz 236/15, LEX No. 1964121). The court issues a decision ex officio, which does not exclude an appropriate request for information from the trustee.
The decision on discontinuation refers to the stage of the so-called proper bankruptcy proceedings, and not the proceedings ending with the decision to announce bankruptcy.
Pursuant to Art. 29a of the Polish Bankruptcy Law, consumer bankruptcy cannot be dismissed if it leads to harm to creditors.
As indicated in the justification for the draft amendment to the Bankruptcy Law, introduced on January 1, 2016, the change introduced by Art. 29a solves the significant problem of creditors submitting applications of a purely debt collection nature, aimed at forcing the debtor to fulfill an obligation that is, moreover, sometimes controversial. After obtaining satisfaction of the debt, the creditor usually withdraws the application, and even if he does not do so, the court dismisses the application due to the applicant’s lack of standing to further support the application. This practice harms other creditors.
