On November 7, 2019, the Statute substantially amending the
Civil Procedure Code and other Statutes will come into effect.
However, some of the changes including the amendments to the
Statute on court fees and costs in civil matters (the "Statute
on Court Fees") will come into effect much sooner on August
21, 2019.
The amendments to the Statute on Court Fees raise the existing
rates of court fees and introduce completely new fees for various
filings that previously had been free of charge. For example,
submitting a motion to provide a party with a written rational for
a court decision or a motion to summon a witness, court experts or
a party after the court has approved the schedule of hearings will
cost a fee (both motions will be subject to a fee of PLN 100,
approx. EUR 25).
