Actio Pauliana in Polish civil law on the basis of 19th-century legal science

Abstract

The present paper addresses the issue of Actio Pauliana and its juridical solution in Polish civil law in the 20th century which was based on the achievements of 19th-century legal science. Considerations about the presented institution include Roman law, civil law which was in force during the partitions of Poland (the Napoleon’s Code, of Laws of the Russian Empire – volume 10, German enactment from 1879, and Austrian legislation from 1914) and then obligations code and
current civil code. It has enabled to show that contemporary juridical construction of Actio Pauliana in current civil law is only a continuation of 19th-century solutions based on Roman law.
