Zamówienia publiczne w Polsce a kodeks zobowiązań w latach 1933–1950

Abstract

The formation of government procurement law during the Second Polish Republic maintained in inseparable connection with contract law. Such consistent development of those fields of law have been withhold in the early years of the Polish People’s Republic. It is generally emphasized that after 1948 the inadequacy of Polish Code of Obligations in relation to the new social and economical conditions became unmistakable. The terminal point of validity of the traditional understanding of “government procurement law” is marked as the date of entry into force of the centralized state planning in socialist economy Act of 19th April 1950. Independent contracts maintained only within the edge markets and on the margins of economic trade. The concept of “government procurement law” temporarily vanished from law and legal language. To summarize it must be noted that the legislations from the interwar years in the sphere of government procurement law are regarded as valuable creation of polish legislative theory.
