Abstract

The institution of Paulian action, in its basic form born over 2200 years ago, has become deeply enrooted in the legal culture of the currently unifying continental Europe. This is also true for Poland, where that institution is now living through a revival, both in judicature and in the doctrinal area. At the same time various disputable issues/ doubts emerge, which concerns especially the functioning of Paulian action in bankruptcy proceedings. In this article I shall try to present and hopefully dispel those doubts.
