Disputes related to the company's relationship in arbitration proceedings in the light of the amendments to the Polish Code of Civil Procedure from 2019

On September 8 th 2019, the amendment to the arbitration proceedings regarding four provisions entered into force, so the 2019 reform of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure did not bypass the arbitration. These changes were introduced by the Act of July 31 st 2019 on the amendment of certain acts to reduce regulatory burdens. This amendment has removed the criterion of the amicable settlement to all disputes about property rights and, also exaggerated the arbitrability to shareholder disputes. This amendment also has removed another practical problem, i.e. bounding by an arbitration clause of the company's bodies and their members, which before the amendment to the article 1163 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure did not result directly from the provision. This amendment, apart from many positive aspects, has not solved all practical aspects of company law disputes.
