Abstract

The article discusses the rules for using information and evidence gathered in the course of the proceedings before a competition authority in civil proceedings for redressing damage caused by infringement of competition law introduced by the Act of 21 April 2017 on claims for redressing damage caused by infringement of competition law. The Act, developed on the basis of the Guidelines for a draft law on claims for compensation for damage caused by infringement of competition law adopted by the Government (Council of Ministers Committee) on 3 June 2016, is aimed at transposing Directive 2014/104 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on certain rules governing actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions of the Member States and of the European Union into Polish law.
