The article describes the appliance of law in French and Polish legal systems and the role of jurisprudence in both jurisdictions. In France and Poland the functioning of general clauses is completely different and the aim of the paper is the presentation of thinking about law in both states by depiction of literature and judgements. As the example I chose the clause of ordre public due to the vast differences in operation of the institution in both legal systems. It is a general clause being one of foundations of French civil law whereas in Poland it functions only in very limited range. In French law the main regulation is included in Article 6 of Code civil. The further rules refering to ordre public in the field of contract law are placed in art. 1102 and 1162. In 2016 there was the reform of law of obligations in Code civil and the legal status before and after were presented. Ordre public is effectively used by jurisprudence in a number of cases in French civil law. Due to rare changes in Code civil French courts have much more freedom in deciding about legal cases than the Polish ones. French state very deeply interferes into the economy so the courts must be provided with legal instruments in order to deal with the problems and apply the rule of law to each case. In Polish law ordre public existed in art. 55 of Code of obligations (freedom of contract) but nowadays we can find only in Article 7 of international private law. Ordre public is the field of international private law is vital but courts are very cautious in its appliance, limiting its usage only to a few cases, such as denial of registration a homosexual union into civil registry. Why Polish courts are so uneager to use the clause? In our legal culture the judges are wary of general clauses and the operation of ordre public is just one of examples. This proves a different usage of general clauses in both legal systems and difference in legal cultures. French jurisprudence has an immense effect on the shape of law, courts actively apply the clause of ordre public while in Poland the verdicts are cautious. Way of thinking about law differs in both states despite the common heritage of Roman law and belonging to the tradition of civil law. In France the freedom of deciding about the cases in the major value while in Poland this certainty of verdicts is believed to be the most important principle.

Regulation of this matter is based on the specific division of lawmaking powers – in the Fifth Republic, which makes the government superior to the parliament. Although the change in the Constitution in 2008 greatly depleted the government’s prerogatives in the legislative procedure, it also imposed new obligations on the government to draft laws of better quality. The government is still the main actor in the legislative process. It is also responsible for ensuring progress in the implementation of EU legislation in France and for conformity of French national legislation with EU law.

The legal status of farmers involved in food marketing is not determined by the EU legislator, however, EU policy encourages farmers’ participation in short food supply chains. The article aims to determine whether a farmer selling his products, both processed and unprocessed is subject to a favourable legal regime intended for the agricultural sector, or whether this activity qualifies him as a commercial entrepreneur. The legislation of three EU Member States and the law of the USA were subject to a comparative legal analysis, based on the dogmatic method. The study found that under the EU Member States’ law, farmers involved in short food supply chains are granted a privileged agricultural status, which certainly strengthens their market position in competition with food businesses and big retailers and is an incentive to undertake and conduct the activity of agri-food marketing. In turn, under American law, agricultural activity and direct marketing are economic activities that cause farmers to operate within a business as an entrepreneur. The main tool to support the participation of US farmers in short food supply chains is financial programmes offering incentives to direct marketing. It was concluded that the systemic legal solutions, as in the presented legislation of the EU countries, in contrast to aid programmes, provides farmers with favourable conditions in the long term, without additional bureaucracy and the need to fill out documents and applications, thus giving them a sense of confidence and stability in engaging in food direct marketing.

This article aims to be a comprehensive presentation of the legal issues related to the French model of civil partnership, „le Pacte civil de solidarité”. It is a detailed study of a singular institution, halfway between marriage and nominate contracts, designed to settle the framework of an interpersonal union. The introduction presents the historical and legal background within which this institution has been conceived. Subsequently, this article gets through the subject with a chronological approach. Its core starts with an exposition of the formal and material requirements imposed by the law upon parties willing to draft the contract of civil partnership. It is followed by an analysis of the various rights and obligations that arise from the performance of this interpersonal agreement. Eventually, this article provides an analysis of all possibilities which lead to the termination of the civil partnership.

The purpose of the discussion presented in the article was to determine the legal status of direct sale of agricultural and food products and its place in the agricultural activity in the legislation of selected EU Member States: Poland, Italy, and France. The considerations show that each legislator has chosen a different way of determining the legal status of this activity, though with a view to a similar ratio legis, which is to support it by enabling and facilitating farmers involvement. In Polish law, “agricultural retail sale” is outside the narrow definition of agricultural activity. It is not, however, subject to the provisions of business law provided it meets the conditions specified in law. Italian law defines the status of direct sales explicitly as agricultural, situating them among connected agricultural activities carried out by the agricultural entrepreneur. The detailed criteria for its connection with the agricultural activity by nature constitute a separate special regulation. In French law, thanks to the broad definition of agricultural activity, the place of direct sale as an agricultural activity par relation which is an extension of the act of production, is defined by case-law.

L’articolo si propone di stabilire lo status giuridico della vendita diretta dei prodotti agricoli e alimentari nella legislazione di alcuni Stati membri scelti, cioè in Polonia, Italia e Francia; compresa la collocazione della stessa nel settore dell'attività agricola. Le considerazioni svolte mettono in rilievo il fatto che ciascun legislatore ha scelto un modo diverso di definire lo status giuridico dell’attività in oggetto, anche se mosso da una ratio legis simile, cioè dal voler sostenerla dando agli agricoltori la possibilità di svolgerla e facilitandone lo svolgimento. Nel diritto polacco, la vendita diretta, definita come un “commercio agricolo al dettaglio”, non rientra nella definizione ristretta di attività agricola. Essa non è soggetta nemmeno al diritto economico, sempre se soddisfa le condizioni stabilite dalla legge. Il diritto italiano, invece, definisce lo status di vendita diretta come agricola in maniera esplicita, collocandola tra le attività agricole connesse, svolte da un imprenditore agricolo, e stabilendo in una regolazione specifica separata i criteri per la connessione con l'attività agricola per sua natura. Nel diritto francese, grazie ad una definizione ampia di attività agricola, il luogo della vendita diretta, in quanto attività agricola par relation, intesa come continuazione dell'atto di produzione, è specificato dalla giurisprudenza.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest zagadnienie tak zwanego character merchandisingu we Francji oraz w Niemczech. Polega ono na swoistym "utowarowieniu" wizerunków postaci w reklamie, które znane są szerszej publiczności z lektury, kina lub telewizji. Chodzi przy tym o dwa ich rodzaje, a mianowicie wizerunki osób fizycznych, przede wszystkim popularnych celebrities albo też o wykorzystanie wizerunków postaci fikcyjnych, przede wszystkim bohaterów bajek, komiksów lub filmów animowanych. Analiza prawnych aspektów ochrony tych wizerunków doprowadziła do wniosku, iż w obydwu krajach prawo wyznacza relatywnie precyzyjnie obszar instytucji character merchandisingu, który określa ochrona dóbr osobistych w odniesieniu do osób fizycznych oraz przez prawo autorskie, prawa znaków towarowych i prawo nieuczciwej konkurencji w przypadku postaci fikcyjnych.

Author deals with the legal concept of character merchandising under French and German Laws. The idea is aimed at merchandising images of wider known persons, mainly from literature, cinema and TV. They can be images of real persons, normally so called celebrities, but also of fictisious personalities, popular heroes from comicses, fairy - tales etc. Analysys of the protection of these images allowed to draw the conclusion that in both mentioned countries legal regulations relatively precisely defined the nature and scope of the discussed institution. Laws applicable in this context are moral rights regulated by civil codes if the real persons are concerned, and copyright, trademarks as well as unfair competition laws in case of fictisious personalities.

The article is devoted to the history of legal regulations concerning the so-called states of emergency in France during the Revolution in the 18th century. For centuries, they have constituted specific legal regimes, which have been applied in various countries during periods of serious danger to public safety. Numerous historians believe that the origins of the modern legal solutions in this area can be found in French public law from the turn of the 18th and the 19th century. The paper follows this path by undertaking an analysis of French normative regulations from the period of the Great French Revolution which were dedicated to the specificity of the concept of l'état de siège. The issue is explored by using a variety of methodological instruments, mainly exegesis of the legal text and comparative law.

Artykuł poświęcony jest dziejom regulacji prawnych dotyczących stanów nadzwyczajnych w XVIII-wiecznej rewolucyjnej Francji. Od stuleci stanowią one specyficzne reżimy prawne stosowane w państwach w okresach poważnego zagrożenia powszechnego bezpieczeństwa. Wielu historyków uznaje, że genezy nowożytnych rozwiązań prawnych w tym zakresie upatrywać należy we francuskim prawie publicznym przełomu XVIII i XIX wieku. Tym właśnie tropem podążył autor, podejmując się analizy francuskich regulacji normatywnych czasów Wielkiej Rewolucji, poświęconych specyfice instytucji określanej jako l'état de siège. Eksplorując problem, korzystał z różnorodnych instrumentów metodologicznych, głównie egzegezy tekstu prawnego oraz komparatystyki prawniczej.

Niniejsza publikacja jest częścią badań nad rolą francuskiego Trybunału Konstytucyjnego (Conseil Constitutionnel) w zakresie kontroli regulacji prawa podatkowego. Głównym celem publikacji jest nie tylko opisanie specyfiki francuskiego systemu prawnego w tej dziedzinie, ale wykorzystując podejście funkcjonalne metody prawnoporównawczej, historyczno-opisowej i dogmatycznej, weryfikacja tezy o skuteczności konstytucyjnej kontroli przepisów podatkowych we francuskim systemie prawnym. Niniejszą analizę przeprowadzono na przykładzie podatku od bardzo wysokich dochodów (fr. taxe sur les très hauts revenus), niemniej jednak może ona stanowić asumpt do dalszych pogłębionych badań w tym zakresie.

Niniejszy artykuł jest krótkim przedstawieniem oraz omówieniem gwarancji prawnych, jakie przysługują podatnikowi we Francji w wypadku prowadzonej kontroli podatkowej w świetle obowiązujących tam przepisów, doktryny oraz orzecznictwa. We Francji oraz w Polsce, czynności kontrolne podejmowane przez organy podatkowe wzbudzają w społeczeństwie wiele obaw, które wynikają przede wszystkim z braku znajomości przepisów lub niejasnej regulacji prawnej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zatem zachęcenie do podjęcia refleksji nad istotą omawianych instytucji prawnych.
