On December 2nd 2021 Sejm adopted amendments to the Civil Code concerning the statute of limitations for claims and the institution of exploitation. With respect to the statute of limitations, an important change concerns the effect of filing a request for a settlement attempt. The motion will not interrupt the run of the prescriptive period, as it has been the case by far, but only suspend it for the duration of the proceedings. This solution will limit the usage the settlement attempt in order to avoid the statute of limitations. In regards to the regulation of exploitation, the amendment extends the rights of the injured party by introducing a presumption in favor of the party and facilitating the request for annulment of the agreement, among others.
