See you at the next meetings!

Significant changes are coming to the Commercial Companies Code regarding the offer to acquire  shares in a limited liability company.

The ban applies to both existing and new shares.

As of November 10, it will not be possible to attract investors by, among other things, organizing business breakfasts, incubators or startup events. Such activities, however, are still open to:

– sole proprietorships (JDG),

– partnerships,

– joint stock companies,

– simple joint stock companies.

After the above-mentioned regulations come into force, it will be prohibited to:

– making offers to acquire shares in a limited liability company,

– promoting the acquisition of shares in a limited liability company,

– making offers to acquire new shares in a limited liability company.

The law also introduces criminal provisions related to this change.

Violation of the ban is punishable by a fine, restriction of freedom or imprisonment for up to six months.

On September 13, the Law of July 13, 2023 on Special Solutions for Regulating the Status of Certain Public Roads enters into force.

The law allows municipalities to acquire property on which public roads are located, subject to the following conditions, among others:

1) the municipality must have possessed the road for a minimum of 20 years on the effective date of the law,

2) the road must be paved and used as a public road of local importance,

3) not classified as public roads,

4) vehicle and pedestrian traffic is carried out on it,

5) they supplement the network of roads serving local needs,

6) functionally should be similar to public roads,

7) should be connected to public roads,

8) must be used by an unspecified number of users.

The administrative decision is issued by the district governor and applications for their acquisition can be submitted until December 31, 2035.

The first sweeping change provided for by the amendment is a change regarding the value of the subject matter of the dispute in cases decided by district courts.

Prior to the amendment, Article 17 indicated, among other things, that the jurisdiction of district courts included cases: for property rights, where the value of the subject of the dispute exceeds seventy-five thousand zlotys, with the exception of cases for alimony, for violation of possession, for the establishment of property separation between spouses, for reconciliation of the content of the land and mortgage register with the actual legal status, and cases heard in electronic writ of payment proceedings.

As of July 1:

– the jurisdiction of district courts includes cases of property rights whose value exceeds one hundred thousand zlotys,

– additionally, cases for reconciliation of the content of the land and mortgage register with the actual legal state – which will thus go to the district court – have been removed from the exclusions.
