The presented article is an attempt to answer the question about the legal character of pastoral work of parish priests and parish assistants in the light of the polish law. Analysis of labour legislations, social insurance, current tax regulations and civil law leads to conclusion that priestly ministry cannot be classified as employment contract or any other form of employment. This sort of ministry can’t be listed in any known type of legal agreement. In such a case contractus innominatus (nameless contract) should be applied to the clerical ministry. Polish law permits the use of contractus innominatus. The content of such contracts, within the boarders determined by the absolutely obligatory norms, can be freely drawn up by the parties.

In this paper the effects of the introduction of the so called “pay per use” -insurance products are examined. These products collect data of kilometers driven by policy holders. As a result of this data, policy holders can get a refund on the insurance-premium paid. Since there is a positive correlation between mileage and the risk of causing an accident the refund is granted to low-mileage drivers, so in theory the “pay per use” product is more attractive to low-mileage drivers than to long-distance drivers. The authors examine empirical evidence to find out whether or not it is mainly low-mileage-drivers who choose the “pay per use” product. Secondly, the authors examine whether there are other significant differences between characteristics of “pay per use” policy-holders and “traditional” policy- holders. Therefore a random sample of 4,000 car-insurance - clients (2,000 “pay per use” policy- holders and 2,000 “traditional” policy-holders) is reviewed. In addition the effects of the introduction of “pay per use” products are discussed, in case of a selection effect between low- and high -mileage drivers is observed.

W artykule omówiono świadczenia emerytalne związane z zatrudnieniem w górnictwie na ziemiach polskich. Górnicy, od zarania tego zawodu mając świadomość stale grożącego im niebezpieczeństwa, doprowadzili do solidarności nieistniejącej w innych branżach. Przejawem ten solidarności jest powstanie instytucji mających zapewnić środki na dalszą egzystencję również w czasie niezdolności do pracy z uwagi na wiek. Dlatego to właśnie w górnictwie najwcześniej rozwinęły się ubezpieczenia i to na nich wzorowano się, wprowadzając później ich powszechne, obligatoryjne formy.

Insurance supports a healthy and prosperous society, enabling businesses and individuals to protect themselves, property, and their finances against risk. As such, insurance today is not just important for the individual consumer, business client or businesses; it also has consequences for the entire economy, restoring businesses to health after natural disasters, acts of war, riots, strikes, fluctuations or financial crises, and state measures to dictate the import or export of goods. The aim of this paper is to examine the part played by insurance in the economy of the Republic of North Macedonia. This paper introduces and summarises an argument and outlines the nature of the exploration to follow. For this introductory purpose, referencing in the paper is kept deliberately light; aiming to find discussion points of relevant sources in the course of the argument as it unfolds. We argue that insurance operates not at the periphery, but also at the core of development, in both practical and conceptual terms. Research of the space that insurance occupies and the role that insurance has in general welfare is performed by using the legal platform that insurance has in place, including the Law on Obligations, the Law on Insurance Supervision, and the Law on Compulsory Traffic Insurance. Through the method of analysis, synthesis, and statistics, the author processes the official data of the Ministry of Finance presented by the National Bank, in order to provide a clear overview of the trends in the use of insurance in the Republic of North Macedonia. The results from the study show that in the time period analysed, the insurance sector is classified as the third most important segment in the financial system, and that life insurance prevails over other types of insurance.

Za cel artykułu przyjęto identyfikację barier fiskalnych rozwoju działalności gospodarczej w Polsce prowadzonej na własny rachunek przez osoby fizyczne oraz zaproponowanie rozwiązań ograniczających te bariery. Dokonano porównania obciążeń fiskalnych działalności gospodarczej prowadzonej w niewielkim zakresie w Polsce i Republice Czeskiej. Opisano znaczenie mikroprzedsiębiorstw w analizowanych gospodarkach. Analizując bariery rozwoju, zwrócono w głównej mierze uwagę na obciążenia drobnych przedsiębiorców wysokimi składkami na ubezpieczenie społeczne, Fundusz Pracy i ubezpieczenie zdrowotne. Zaproponowano, by w przypadku samozatrudnionych prowadzących działalność gospodarczą w niewielkim zakresie, wysokość opłacanych składek powiązać z wielkością przychodu. Składki na ubezpieczenie społeczne, Fundusz Pracy, ubezpieczenie zdrowotne, zdaniem autora, powinny przybrać formę ryczałtu od przychodów ewidencjonowanych.

Ograniczone zasoby konwencjonalnych źródeł energii oraz wzrost dwutlenku węgla w atmosferze powodują, że sięgamy do odnawialnych źródeł energii. Już od wielu lat w państwach Europy Zachodniej obserwujemy rosnące wykorzystanie energii wiatru, słońca, energii geotermalnej dla celów energetycznych. W Polsce także wzrasta zainteresowanie wykorzystaniem energii słonecznej dla produkcji energii elektrycznej za pomocą urządzeń fotowoltaicznych. Jak każde urządzenie, także i urządzenia fotowoltaiczne narażone są na różnego rodzaju zdarzenia losowe. Celem artykułu jest ocena ryzyka niezbędna przy ubezpieczeniu urządzeń fotowoltaicznych od wybranych zdarzeń losowych. Na bazie podstawowych informacji o urządzeniach fotowoltaicznych stawiamy tezę o konieczności objęcia ochroną ubezpieczeniową tego rodzaju urządzeń. W artykule wskazujemy na podstawowe elementy oceny ryzyka ubezpieczeniowego, tj. przedmiot ubezpieczenia, zakres odpowiedzialności, sumę ubezpieczenia.

Limited resources of conventional energy sources and an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes that we turn to renewable energy sources. Already for many years in Western European countries, we observe the use of wind, solar and geothermal energy. Also in Poland for many years, there is interest in using solar energy for the production of electricity using photovoltaic devices. The article discusses the development of solar energy using photovoltaic, and indicates areas of insolation in Poland. Based on the basic information about the photovoltaic devices, we put the thesis of the need for insurance coverage of photovoltaic devices located on the construction site. In the article, we point to the basic elements of the evaluation of insurance risk in the subject, extent of liability, the sum insured.
