Draft legislation guidelines for the establishment of a specialized Capital Market Court in Poland

In 2018 the Warsaw Stock Exchange commissioned the Allerhand Institute, to draw up assumptions for a legislation introducing into the Polish judicial system a separate specialized Capital Market Court competent in corporate law disputes of listed companies as well as disputes between investors and issuers of financial instruments. Moreover the jurisdiction of new court would extend to embrace judicial review of decisions issued by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). The document was prepared by Professor Arkadiusz Radwan, in cooperation with Michał Bobrzyński (Attorney-at-Law, LL.M. Harvard), legal advisor Kamil Nowak (Attorney-at-Law) and Dr. Krzysztof Grabowski – all research associates affiliated with the Allerhand Institute. This is to present an original document submitted to the Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange on 5 December 2018.
