Study Notes
Business Law Summaries
-
Groundless Enrichment: If a person benefits from another's expense without justification, the enriched person must return the value of the benefit.
-
Damage Redress: Compensation for damages is decided upon by the aggrieved party, not the perpetrator. Damages should ideally restore the previous condition or compensate with an equivalent sum.
-
Tort Liability Conditions: Tort liability is not contingent on unlawful damage, causal relationship, or fault.
-
Tort Liability: Tort liability is based on fault but not always.
-
Sales Contracts: Sales contracts typically transfer ownership of the good in question to the buyer. However, if the good is a "fungible", the buyer receives ownership right away.
-
Real Estate Contracts: Contracts for transferring ownership of real estate in Poland typically require a notarial deed.
-
Unjust Enrichment: If someone profits unfairly at another's loss, they have a legal obligation to return the benefit.
-
Contract Performance If a creditor demands execution of a personal performance by the debtor, the creditor must have justification for demand from established laws, nature of said performance, or the contract.
-
Co-Ownership: Each co-owner can dispose of their share with the remaining co-owners or authorized court approval.
-
Legal Declarations: If a declaration of intent is required to be notarized, and it is not, the legal act can be null and void.
-
Creditor Demands: Creditors can demand a performance from debtors if justified by law, contract or performance's nature.
-
Debtor Releases: Debtors can release themselves from obligations but only with creditor consent.
-
Due Diligence: Debtors are obligated to act with a level of diligence appropriate for the specific situation and relationship.
-
Payment Methods: If a contract obliges payment of a sum of money, the payment is based on the contract unless there are specific exceptions.
-
Impossibility of Performance: If an act becomes impossible to perform due to circumstances beyond the debtor's control, the obligation might be nullified, expire, or terminated.
-
Damage Compensation Methods: Compensation for non-monetary damages might involve payment of a specified sum.
-

Legal Person: Entities such as limited liability companies, have legal personality and capacity to create contracts unlike an unincorporated partnership.
-
Entrepreneur Representation: Entrepreneurs are generally required to operate under a trade name, which may be different if they are individuals versus registered business entities.
