Practical application – the case of a museum as a bidder
Can an entity endowed with a statutory right of first refusal simultaneously influence the price it ultimately pays? In the historical monuments auction market, this question is no longer merely a theoretical dilemma. The active participation of registered museums in auctions, combined with the possibility of later exercising their right of first refusal, raises serious questions regarding auction transparency, the equality of participants, and the limits of permissible exercise of public law rights. This article examines this issue at the intersection of civil law, cultural heritage protection, and fair market principles.
We are proud to announce that KG Legal Kieltyka Gladkowski has been shortlisted for the prestigious Central and Eastern Europe Awards 2026, organised by The Legal 500, in the category Healthcare & Life Sciences Firm of the Year. This distinction places our firm among the leading legal practices recognised for excellence in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, medical devices, biotechnology, and life sciences sectors across the region. Being shortlisted by The Legal 500 is considered one of the most significant recognitions in the legal market, reflecting not only legal expertise but also market reputation, client feedback, innovation, and the impact of a firm’s work.
The CE marking was introduced as part of the harmonization of product marking processes within the EU. It is intended to replace all existing conformity markings. The marking itself indicates that the product meets the requirements of the applicable regulations. It is affixed to products intended for introduction into the EEA and Turkish markets, regardless of where they were manufactured.
The most significant changes that influence litigations in Poland will come into force on March 1, 2026. The amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure concern, among other things, powers of attorney, mediation, the computerization of civil proceedings (this element predominates in the amending act), and new rules for service of documents. Many changes concern the use of an information portal in the proceedings, which is also the subject of an amendment to the Act on the System of Common Courts.
The amendment aims to be one of the first steps towards computerizing the entire justice system to meet the needs of the information society. Furthermore, the justification also includes intentions to standardize the use of IT systems across courts, eliminating differences, for example, between different divisions of common courts. For the time being, after all the changes contained in the amending act enter into force, documents filed via the Information Portal will still need to be printed for inclusion in the case file due to the lack of digital records in civil proceedings. However, this is only a temporary solution, as work on digital records is already underway. The legislative authority also emphasizes the importance of gradual implementation and development, so that judges and citizens have an appropriate transitional period to become familiar with these systems.
