Poles' arrears to courts up to PLN 608 mln in 2019

Poles' debts to courts increased last year by more than half to PLN 608 million, according to BIG InfoMonitor data. The rapid increase was mainly due to non-compliance with judgments on the return of property derived from crime. On the list of debtors of the judiciary at the end of 2019 there were over 147,000 people.

Over the past 5 years, commitments to justice entered in the BIG InfoMonitor register have grown from PLN 6 million to PLN 608 million.

“There are more and more debtors in court registers, but at the same time many are removed because they pay their liabilities. Only from the debts introduced by the courts in 2019, more than a third was settled, although it must be admitted that they are not easy debtors if you can talk this way and some of them have in addition PLN 2.4 billion of other arrears, ” Halina Kochalska, BIG InfoMonitor expert, said.
