Grant Thornton: law production in Poland accelerates

After two years of strong declines, law production in Poland is accelerating – in the first three quarters of 2019, 17,400 pages of the typescript of new legal acts were adopted, a 5.9% increase y/y, Grant Thornton wrote in its “Legal environment stability barometer” report.

According to the authors of the report, this is bad news because in the last two years (2017 and 2018) the number of new legal acts significantly decreased.

“Most of the quarters of 2017 and 2018 brought declines in law production on an annual basis and we began to hope that this change is permanent, which would mean that in a few years we might experience an actual, noticeable stabilization of the legal environment. Unfortunately, recent quarters weaken this hope. The growth in the production of law has returned and everything indicates that 2019 will be the fourth worst year in history in terms of the changeability of regulations,” said Tomasz Wróblewski, a partner at Grant Thornton.
