Polish Supreme Court rulings on consumer and antitrust cases

Overview

The Supreme Court of Poland has finalized a legal dispute involving the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) and Eurocash. The court refused to hear a cassation appeal from UOKiK, upholding previous rulings from the Competition and Consumer Protection Court and the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. As a result, Eurocash will not be required to pay a 76 million PLN fine originally issued in 2021 regarding allegations of abusing its dominant position toward agricultural and food suppliers between 2018 and 2020.
