In connection with the announcement of the state of the epidemic in Poland, the Polish government has prepared a package of solutions that are aimed at mitigating the effects of the coronavirus. The Act of March 31, 2020 amending the Act on specific solutions related to the prevention and eradication of COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them (link to the legal act) introduces crucial regulations from the litigation point of view, namely regulations aiming to suspend for the time of the coronavirus epidemy in Poland the deadlines resulting from the administrative law, for example the period of prescription as well as the procedural and court deadlines. During the coronavirus epidemy in Poland the time periods that already started to run, are suspended for the time of epidemy, and the time periods which have not yet begun – will start running when the epidemy is officially cancelled in Poland.
