Draft amendment to the Code of Civil Procedure, including withdrawing of a special procedure in business cases and submission of disputes between entrepreneurs to the general rules of civil procedure, was presented to the Sejm on 15 June 2011.

The draft amendment involves, on the one hand, submission of disputes between entrepreneurs to the general rules of civil procedure, while on the other hand, it introduces solutions in order to improve and accelerate court proceedings.

According to the justification to the amendment, there is no reason why disputes between entrepreneurs should be subjected to different rules of civil proceedings. Especially the fact that entrepreneurs are treated as professionals in the field of business activity they pursue does not justify the fact of imposing higher requirements on them than those in ordinary civil proceedings, as professionalism in the field of business activity cannot be equated with the professionalism of legal knowledge.
