Odpowiedzialność solidarna

Introduced by the Act amending the Civil Code of February 14, 2003, joint and several liability of the investor and general contractor for payment of subcontractor's remuneration due to divergent interpretations of regulations and inconsistent judicial decisions, did not solve practical problems, and violated the principle of equal parties and exposed the investor to the risk of paying double remuneration to the contractor and subcontractor. The basic change was made by the act of 7/04/2017. Currently, the joint and several liability regime provides the subcontractor with an additional guarantee of payment of remuneration not only from the contractor, but also from the investor.
