Representing one of the Clients of the law firm – a production company operating in the automotive industry – we obtained a favorable judgment of the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection in a case regarding a fine imposed by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for violation of electricity consumption restrictions introduced in summer 2015.
Restrictions in the consumption of electricity were introduced in 2015 first by the Polish Power Grid Company, and then by the Council of Ministers under the Regulation.
The President of the Energy Regulatory Office imposed a financial penalty on the Client of the law firm for violation of both restrictions. In the scope of the first of these, we proved that there is no legal basis for the application of a financial penalty in the currently applicable provisions. In this respect, the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection shared the statement of the law firm in its entirety and annulled this penalty.
