Having examined the case in closed session on September 21, 2018, in L.

the case brought by J. O. (representative), [details of 25 group members]

against (…) Spółka Akcyjna with its registered office in L. for payment

decides:

to hear the case in group proceedings.

1. There are no rational grounds – despite the location of Article 12 of the Act on Collective Redress – for differentiating between the requirements for a declaration of accession to a group of persons who join the group at the initial stage of the proceedings and persons who join the group only after the court’s decision to hear the case in collective proceedings has become final. In both cases, on the basis of the information contained in the declaration of accession to the group, the court assesses whether a given person can obtain the status of a group member or not, and thus whether the requirements for such accession have been met. This assessment is made in terms of the existence of the subjective and objective prerequisites for class action proceedings contained in Article 1(1) and (2) of the Class Action Act.
