By the decision of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw, the judgment of the Regional Court, which adjudicates for the Law Firm’s Client above 1.000.000 PLN, has become final. This amount has to be paid as the reimbursement of fees, called “listing fees”, unduly charged by the chain of DIY-stores for the promotion services.
The above mentioned judgment has been commented by the lawyers of our Law Firm in an article, published on 02.12.2014 in “Głos Wielkopolski”. The Article, besides the process, which has been won by the Law Firm, concerns also the issue of conditions of admissibility to conclude the contracts on paid promotion services and the recent decision of the Constitutional Court which considers the ban on the “listing fees” as legal.
The growing legal awareness of entrepreneurs causes that there are even more similar processes. The retail chains are obliged to reimburse the charged fees each time when the supplier proves that there were no actual grounds to pay them.
