Abstract

The article presents the concepts and changes adopted in the amendment to the Polish procedure for the bankruptcy of natural persons who do not conduct any business activities.. Since the inception of that institution in 2008, a very small number of bankruptcies declared has been a problem. Such a situation was due, inter alia, to very strict requisites for the declaration of bankruptcy, which have been alleviated as a result of the said amendment. Nonetheless, it is worth contemplating whether the new provisions regulating the institution of personal bankruptcy are well shaped and correct.
