The contribution focuses on the lost profits according to the CISG Convention (United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods). The notion of lost profits and its extent according to Art. 74 CISG are presented. Moreover, aspects of calculation of lost profits, as well as limitations of the compensation for the lost profits are discussed. The author compares the notion of lost profits under CISG with the notion of lost profits under Polish private law. The author expresses his standpoint according to which the notion of lost profits under Polish law and under the CISG is quite similar, but by no means identical. The extent of the lost profits in two cases is different, as well as manners of its calculation. Therefore, caution is needed to avoid homeward trend and invoking Polish scholarship and jurisprudence as a guideline for solving the issues connected with interpretation of lost profits according to the CISG should be avoided.

Contractual liability for damages is not limitless, which is also reflected in provisions of United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Internatiownal Sale of Goods (CISG). Limitation of liability can be introduced in several ways; in CISG Convention this was achieved by limiting the liability to foreseeable damages. In Polish scholarship this issue has received only minimal attention. The author of the contribution focuses on the interpretation of Art. 74 second sentence of the CISG. The aim of the contribution is to elaborate on key normative elements affecting the proper evaluation of the foreseeability and to propose a step-by-step method (scheme) of evaluating the foreseeability of damage that - in the author’s opinion - might ensure that such an exact and thorough evaluation according to the aforementioned provision. The author focuses primarily on the relevant time and subject of foreseeability, the perspective that ought to be taken into account, the factors affecting the foreseeability (will of the parties, binding practices and usages, knowledge of the party, as well as on the distinction between the objective foreseeability of damage (which refers to the damage that the party in breach ought to have foreseen) and the subjective foreseeability of damage (which refers to the damage that the party in breach had actually foreseen).

The verdict of the Supreme Court of 11 October 2013 (fi le I CSK 697/12) and the decision of the Constitutional Tribunal of 25 June 2015 (fi le SK 32/14) are discussed and their signifi cance for the understanding of punitive damages analysed. The main problem discussed in this paper is the question whether there is room under Polish law for punitive damages modelled a common law system and whether the adoption of this solution could possibly infl uence the basic premises constituting the liability for damages already adopted. The main focus has been put on the argumentation of the Supreme Court presented in its verdict regarding the possibility of enforcing by Polish courts a judgment in which a foreign court awarded punitive damages, and the arguments of the Constitutional Tribunal regarding the constitutionality of a legal provision establishing a possibility of fl at-rate damages, being awarded and increased in the event of the determination of guilt by the breaching party. Certain detailed provisions that are contradictory from the point of view of the fundamental assumptions underlying the liability for damages in Polish law and the laws of most European legal systems (and the German system in particular) are also examined. Further, a synthetic analysis of the positive and negative aspects of punitive damages identifi ed by other researchers is presented. This is followed by a mention of other institutions available under Polish law which may constitute an alternative to punitive damages, at least when it comes to the provision of an adequate preventive and punitive measure in the event of gross or culpable damage.
