Abstract

The article focuses on the legal issue concerning the designation of a foreign entrepreneur and legal consequences of incorrect designation consisting in the absence of the complete business name of the foreign entrepreneur while indicating only the business name of the branch office in Poland. Such incorrect designation of a party to the proceedings does not implicate that the proceedings have been conducted against a non-existent entity. The lack of the capacity to be a party in court proceedings may be made up for by correcting the designation of a party, and therefore only no such correction made by the set deadline may provide grounds for rejecting the suit. Such correction of the designation of the plaintiff does not affect the material identity of the parties to the proceeding.
