Changes to exploitation laws that benefit consumers
The provisions of the Civil Code on exploitation are an important tool to protect the interests of the weaker party to the contract. It is used by people exploited by the contractor due to their forced position (e.g. urgent need to repay debt), infirmity (e.g. due to serious illness) or inexperience (may be due to young age). The legislator aims to make it easier for these people to avoid the negative consequences of the concluded contract. The amendment to the Civil Code of June 30, 2022 significantly extended this protection.
