This paper is devoted to the Polish leniency programme, including the conditions of obtaining lenient treatment and the applicable procedure. The type, scope and form of information that must be submitted are commented on as well as the marker system and summary applications. The intersection of the leniency scheme with private enforcement of antitrust rules is discussed in detail. Special attention is devoted to the possible ways in which private antitrust plaintiffs might access information submitted to the UOKiK by leniency applicants. Thoroughly analysed are the rules regulating the possibility of obtaining relevant documents from the UOKiK and from the defendant in the course of civil proceedings as well as the status of the administrative decision in subsequent civil litigation. The paper covers also the scope of the leniency recipient’s civil liability and touches upon the possible ways in which it could be limited to enhance the effectiveness of the leniency scheme. Some suggestions de lege ferenda are also provided concerning the means of increasing this effectiveness without prejudice to the private parties’ right to compensation.

W artykule przedstawiono instytucję programów nagradzania informatorów stanowiącą jeden z nowych, w prawie konkurencji, mechanizmów ułatwiających wykrywanie porozumień kartelowych. Programy te mają w założeniu usprawnić wykrywalność karteli metodami reaktywnymi m.in. poprzez ograniczenie uzależnienia organów ochrony konkurencji od programów leniency we wczesnych fazach postępowania. W artykule zostały wskazane generalne założenia teoretyczne leżące u podstaw koncepcji oferowania nagród pieniężnych w zamian za dostarczanie wysokiej jakości informacji, rozwiązania przyjęte w prawie brytyjskim, węgierskim oraz słowackim, a także rekomendacje co do implementacji tego rodzaju programów w praktyce

The article discusses the idea of informant reward schemes as one of the new cartel detection methods. Informant reward schemes are supposed to enhance the reactive detection capabilities of competition authorities by lowering their reliance on leniency programmes in the early stages of cartel investigations. The article provides: (i) an overview of the main rationales behind the idea of providing financial rewards in antitrust enforcement; (ii) an analysis of the informant rewards schemes introduced in the United Kingdom, Hungary, and the Slovak Republic; (iii) recommendations regarding the implementation of such schemes in practice. An extended English version of this article is available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2457450.
