Latest changes in the rates for court mediators in civil proceedings – as of 17 February 2026, the Regulation of the Minister of Justice of 12 February 2026 on the amount of remuneration and reimbursable expenses of a mediator in civil proceedings has entered into force. This is particularly noteworthy because the previous rates had remained unchanged since 2016. The new regulations adjust remuneration to current economic realities and the growing role of mediation in civil proceedings.
For over a decade in Poland, a total ban on the advertising of pharmacies and their activities was in force (Article 94a of the Pharmaceutical Law), allowing only information about location and opening hours. The ban was widely enforced and financially sanctioned. The number of issued decisions, imposed fines, and court judgments was counted in hundreds of documents and thousands of zlotys. All this lasted until 19 June 2025 and the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
The next edition of one of the most important distinctions in the functional food and dietary supplements industry is approaching – the Competition for the Gold Medal of NutraFood Poland 2026.

The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly become widespread in activities requiring the creation and processing of text, graphics, photographs, audio works, audiovisual content, as well as in advertising personalization, process automation, and data analysis (including scientific data). As a result, tasks in advertising campaigns—such as creating social media materials, product descriptions and labeling, data analysis, or customer service—can be performed faster and more easily. There is no doubt that AI is a powerful tool for cost optimization. At the same time, one must not overlook the risks associated with the use of AI tools—particularly in the hands of an unaware user (and subsequent users of AI-generated content), where these risks may increase. This is especially important for the dietary supplements industry, which in Poland is one of the most dynamic yet also one of the most heavily regulated sectors. In this industry, AI therefore represents not only a time-saving solution, but also a new compliance challenge.

Z przyjemnością informujemy o zakończeniu złożonego postępowania prowadzonego przez naszą Kancelarię w formule pro bono. Sprawa dotyczyła grupy klientów, którym ubezpieczyciel odmówił wypłaty świadczeń po zdarzeniu losowym uniemożliwiającym realizację planów wyjazdowych na kilka godzin przez rozpoczęciem.
Pomyślny finał sporu zaowocował nie tylko odzyskaniem pełnej kwoty roszczeń, ale stanowi również istotny wkład w dyskusję nad rzetelnym traktowaniem konsumenta. Rozstrzygnięcie to podkreśla, że zapisy umowne muszą być przejrzyste, a deklarowana ochrona ubezpieczeniowa powinna mieć charakter realny, zwłaszcza w sytuacjach kryzysowych, gdyż właśnie temu powinna służyć.
