The aim of the paper is to discuss a new kind of provisions in the Polish legal system, that is the episodic provisions. The provisions in question were regulated in the recently amended Rules of Legislative Drafting (Zasady Techniki Prawodawczej in Polish), which went into force on March 1st, 2016. The episodic provisions can raise some theoretical questions and cause various practical problems, both for legislators and interpreters. The authors identify and clarify some of those.
