The Polish legal system has recently undergone a number of significant changes, the most recent of which concern the Code of Civil Procedure. A few years ago, conducting an online hearing was impossible. Although the regulations allowed videoconferencing, it was limited to connections between courts, mainly used for questioning witnesses. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected these regulations, leading to the introduction of the possibility of remote participation in hearings. Thanks to the amendment of the regulations in March 2020, remote hearings have become a reality, initially as a temporary solution, aimed at counteracting the effects of the pandemic.
Seeing the effectiveness and convenience of remote hearings, the legislator decided to permanently introduce this form to the Code of Civil Procedure. On March 14, 2024, an amendment came into force, which not only consolidates remote hearings as a standard procedure, but also introduces a number of other innovations. The aim of these changes is to streamline and accelerate civil proceedings, so that the justice system is more effective and accessible to citizens and entrepreneurs.
Alternative investment companies are a specific form of investment activity introduced into the Polish legal system within the framework of the provisions on investment funds, and specifically in the context of managing alternative investment funds. These regulations are contained in the Act of 27 May 2004 on investment funds and the Act of 22 July 2005 on the management of alternative investment funds, Journal of Laws 2024.1034. AIICs are therefore a specific form of asset management that creates the possibility of investing in alternative assets, such as real estate, private equity, raw materials or debt, while maintaining high flexibility in terms of investment strategies.
