We know how to speed up shelter construction!

Today on the Prawo.pl in the “Law in Business / Construction” section was published an opinion by KKPW partner Pawel Pucher on the possibility of using the provisions of the Law on Planning and Development and also the special housing law to build shelters. Attorney Pucher not only assessed the currently pending draft amendments to the regulations on shelter construction and described the current possibilities of using integrated investment plans (IIPs) for their construction, but also proposed changes to the regulations. These changes could significantly increase the possibility of building shelters using existing as well as new planning tools, and thus contribute to the security of citizens.

The entire speech is available on Prawo.pl

The latest issue of the quarterly “Prawo Budowlane” (no. 20) features an article by attorney Pawel Pucher, “Will the IIP prove to be a better solution than the resolution on determining the location of a residential development project adopted under the special housing law?”.

This is another publication in which attorney Pawel Pucher discusses selected aspects of the implementation of investments, especially development investments. This time, Pawel Pucher discusses the similarities and differences between the Integrated Investment Plan (IIP) adopted under the new regulations on planning and spatial development and the resolution on determining the location of a residential development project undertaken on the basis of the special housing law (popularly known as lex deweloper) – which are important tools in preparing an investment. In the text, attorney Paweł Pucher points out, among other things, selected problems in the application of the IIP procedure and possible measures for its improvment.

Attorney Paweł Pucher spoke Today at the Polish Real Estate Law Congress. During the event, Pawel Pucher discussed the most relevant issues concerning the Integrated Investment Plan against the background of a similar legal solution, which is a resolution to determine the location of a residential development project adopted under the special Housing Law (so-called lex developer).

Today on LinkedIn, attorney Pawel Pucher (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pawelpucher/), commenting on a radio interview of one of KKPW’s clients on urban planning standards, presented legal options for their implementation, the current legal status of local urban planning standards and municipal urban planning standards.

The entire text of attorney Pucher’s commentary is available here.

Kaczor Klimczyk Pucher Wypiór – Adwokaci (KKPW) and Horizone Studio have entered into a cooperation agreement to provide investors with comprehensive services in the areas of legal and design services, related to the implementation of investments through the tools provided by the latest major amendment to the Law on Planning and Spatial Development (Integrated Investment Plans – IIP), as well as within the framework of the Law on Facilitation of Preparation and Implementation of Housing Investments and Associated Investments of 2018 – colloquially known as lex developer (determination of the location of housing investments and associated investments – DLHI).
 
Conducting investments on the basis of the so-called lex developer has not always met with the favor of local authorities. Recent years have shown that there are cities that have been able to make good use of this tool. At the same time, in others – investments were not allowed to be carried out in this mode at all. The last major amendment to the Law on Spatial Planning and Development of September 2023, introducing IIP’s, which will be able to apply not only to residential investments but also, for example, services or manufacturing, opens up new opportunities. Currently – especially in places where the special housing law has not been applied, and in time – throughout the country, as eventually IIP will completely replace DLHI.

The cooperation between KKPW and Horizone Studio opens up new opportunities for investors. This will be helped by both companies’ previous experience with procedures based on the so-called lex developer. The combination of the knowledge and experience of a law firm specializing in real estate industry issues and a renowned architectural firm is expected to assist developers in going through the process of investment planning, preparation of documents needed to conduct procedures, negotiation with municipalities of agreements on the implementation of an accompanying investment or urban planning agreements, and final design, adapted to the specifics of the site and the requirements set by individual municipalities. As part of their comprehensive service, KKPW and Horizone offer consultancy, preparation of legal analyses, functional and spatial analyses taking into account complementary investments, preparation of formal documents, especially the DLHI application or IIP application with IIP design, and assistance in negotiations with municipalities.

The proposal of KKPW and Horizone Studio is a new offer aimed at real estate investors. As of today, developers planning investment activities can take advantage of combined comprehensive legal and project services, both within the framework of the already proven procedures based on the special housing law, as well as those implemented on the basis of the new solution, which is the Integrated Investment Plan.

Today attorney Agata Kaczor and attorney Pawel Pucher summarized the achievements of our team in the real estate practice area, recalling our greatest successes and most interesting achievements in serving clients in the real estate and construction investment sector, including developers.

Today we were served with another new decision of the Mazovian Voivode confirming Polish citizenship of our client.

This is another such decision obtained in the proceedings conducted by us. Recently we have been most often asked for help in obtaining Polish citizenship by citizens of the USA, Great Britain and Israel, although there are other nations citizens who ask about our legal services in this matter.

Attorney Paweł Pucher led a training today on the latest major amendment to the planning and zoning regulations. The training was conducted in a hybrid version – in our Krakow office and online. The training was also attended by many representatives of development and design companies. Thank you all for your participation and discussion!

The scope of the training included, among other things, discussion of the objectives and scope of the regulations and new definitions, new principles of public participation in planning processes, introduction of a new planning tool – the general plan, which will replace the study of conditions and directions for development of municipalities, changes in planning procedures, including a simplified procedure, changes in the rules for issuing and validity of decisions on conditions for development and land use, a new form of local plan – the Integrated Investment Plan, including the procedure for its preparation and implementation, including, inter alia, conclusion of an urban planning agreement, conclusion of an urban development plan, conclusion of an urban planning agreement, conclusion of an urban development plan, conclusion of an urban planning agreement. The scale of the amendment is so large that it is difficult to assess the validity of the decision on land development conditions and the validity of the decision on land development conditions.

The scale of the amendments is so large that on the first day we were only able to discuss some of the most significant changes. As expected, the topic of the Integrated Investment Plan generated a particularly great deal of interest.

We would like to invite you to the next training session, during which we will continue to discuss these changes, which are so important from the point of view of designers and investors, including developers.

The head of KKPW’s German Desk, attorney Paweł Pucher, has become a member of the European Bar Association DACH (Europäische Anwaltsvereinigung DACH), which brings together German-speaking lawyers from across Europe.

Attorney Paweł Pucher has been providing legal support to German-speaking entrepreneurs, especially from Germany and Austria, for more than 20 years.

The District Court in Warsaw issues a favorable verdict for our client – a landlord of business space in the center of Warsaw – dismissing the tenant’s demand for a reduction in rents invoking the effects of the Covid‑19 pandemic.

Our team of lawyers supported the client – a Polish company from the energy industry in just-completed successful negotiations with a financial investor for cooperation in the development of a network of photovoltaic farms and energy storages.

On June 16, 2023, the Polish Parliament passed another amendment to the Energy Law. This time it is a comprehensive amendment, as it implements 4 directives of the European Parliament and the Council on the common market for gas and electricity, geological storage of CO2, and promoting the use of energy from RES. This means not only a number of new obligations for energy companies but creates conditions for accelerating the green energy transition.

KKPW’s lawyers are advising clients operating in the electricity sector as they prepare to implement the new solutions resulting from the amendment.

Following the recent amendment to the Law on Renewable Energy Sources, KKPW lawyers are advising energy companies on the development of their offerings for virtual and collective prosumers, among others. These are new areas that allow the use of electricity from photovoltaics on a remote property from the one on which the photovoltaic installation is located, and for residents of multi-apartment buildings from installations placed on those buildings.

Increasingly, companies, particularly those operating in the mass market, are changing the way they communicate with their customers and clients, aiming to simplify their comunication while using simple and concise language. EU legislation, especially in the case of legal standards mandating businesses to meet certain information obligations to consumers, uses the concept of “simple and clear language.” The trend described in the introduction will grow in popularity in the coming years.

For years, KKPW’s team of lawyers has been advising mass-market electricity seller on adapting their communications and contracts with customers to the postulate of simple language while preserving the legal significance of this content.

In legal proceedings in which KKPW represented Polski Holding Hotelowy, the Polish Patent Office issued further protective certificates for word-graphic trademarks.

Trademark protection rights is one of the important areas of KKPW’s activities.

The KKPW team, led by attorney Paweł Pucher, supported the Terra Casa real estate development group in the successful process of selecting a general contractor and negotiating an agreement for the implementation of another prestigious real estate investment, ART DECO MARYMONT.

This is another phase of legal support for this project by our Law Firm.

An amendment to the Law on Emergency Measures to Curb Electricity Prices and Support Certain Consumers in 2023 expands the circle of energy consumers entitled to be billed at the maximum price to include those who purchase electricity to provide electricity to tenants. KKPW lawyers are currently advising their clients on whether and to what extent they can take advantage of the statutory solutions for securing the supply of cheaper electricity and gas.

Today in our Krakow office a training course was held on the investment process, covering mainly issues of planning and zoning.

In addition to KKPW lawyers, the training was also attended by our clients from development companies, including PHN SA, Precapital Group and TC Forum Group.

We are looking forward to the next trainings!

Today, another training on the broadly understood investment process took place in our Krakow office. It was a continuation of the previous training from November last year. This time, we focused on issues of construction law, mainly on the latest changes.

In addition to KKPW lawyers, our clients from development companies, including PHN SA, Precapital Group, and TC Forum Group, also participated in the training.

We invite you to further trainings!

Despite the change in the Supreme Court’s ruling line to one unfavorable to airport neighbors, KKPW’s lawyers managed to win compensation for a client residing in the restricted use area established for the Krakow-Balice airport. Cases of this nature are handled by attorney Mateusz Wyka and attorney Karolina Jarema.

Public Procurement Office entirely upheld the appeal prepared by KKPW lawyers allowing our Client to continue competing for a significant public contract.

The dissertation was written under the supervision of Dr Michał Kowalski, Prof. UJ.

KKPW represented the Client in the PPO proceedings and then the District Court, in which the decisions were entirely favorable to the Client and allowed him to conclude a public contract with the GDDKiA.

Our lawyers advised on the acquisition of a group of companies in the automotive industry – (auto glass and claims settlement industry).

The Law Firm’s client – a company in the energy industry – obtains a final judgment awarding the amount of compensation from the company liable for the criminal action of a member of its management board. The value of the adjudicated claim is nearly PLN 40 million. The case was handled by attorney Adam Klimczyk and attorney Mateusz Wyka.

A training session on the new law on the protection of the rights of purchasers of residential units and single-family houses and on the developer’s guarantee fund (the so-called Developer’s Law) was held today in our Krakow office.

In addition to lawyers from KKPW, the training was attended by our clients from real estate development companies, including PHN SA, Precapita Group, TC Forum Group.

The Polish passport seems increasingly attractive. Clients represented by KKPW lawyers (citizens of UK and USA) have obtained Polish citizenship. We congratulate the new compatriots!

Once again, we comprehensively supported our client in the process of selecting a general contractor, including the preparation and negotiation of a general contract. This time our support concerned the realization of the second stage of the SOHO RESIDENCE investment in Kraków.

https://sohoresidence.pl/

This is yet another case in which our law firm’s team, led by attorney Magdalena Tynkowska, reclaims for clients the ownership of forest properties located in the Gorce Mountains which were seized by the State Treasury under the decrees of the 1940s issued by the communist government.

KKPW successfully completes the sale of two guesthouses in Kościelisko, combined with a payment security and court settlement and a series of other settlements resulting from the division of the spouses’ joint property division of the inheritance.

The forthcoming amendment to the Law on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels introduces new obligations for developers and housing communities to regulate parking spaces with electric car chargers at current and newly built facilities.

The amendment also introduces obligations for managers and public parking lots, who will have to adjust these parking lots in terms of the minimum number of charging points by 2025.

Also imposed on local government units are obligations related to the vehicles used by them or companies carrying out their tasks.

KKPW’s lawyers provide advice on the above issues, also drawing on years of experience in real estate law.

Our law firm comprehensively advised an investor on the joint acquisition (together with an international venture capital fund) of a controlling stake in a fintech start-up.

KKPW lawyers have for years represented their clients in court and administrative proceedings concerning the regulation of the legal status of real estate on which power companies’ transmission facilities are sited.

Extensive experience in this subject has resulted in the conclusion of a contract with one of the largest Distribution System Operators to handle more than 600 proceedings for, among other things, payment of remuneration for non-contractual use of real estate, establishment of a transmission easement and the acquisition of a transmission easement.

November 2019 was the time of the biggest reform of the Civil Procedure Code in many years. Although some of the changes came into force earlier, it was on 7 November that most of the amended regulations finally came into force. The most important objective of the introduced reforms is to improve civil procedure by shortening the duration of court proceedings. The main changes concern the principles of service of pleadings – the so-called fiction of service has been abandoned; jurisdiction has been determined; decisions have been issued – the rule is that they should be issued in secret. Instruments used to accelerate civil proceedings are also the so-called preparatory proceedings, during which judges should persuade the parties to conclude a settlement, as well as a simplified procedure for dismissing plaintiffs who are obviously unfounded and those who do not contain a specific demand.

Continuing the fight against value added tax fraud and evasion, on 1 November 2019 the legislator introduced into the Polish tax system an obligation to apply the “split payment ” in designated economic areas, which until now was a voluntary choice of the taxpayer. The essence of the split payment mechanism is to split the payment for the goods or services due resulting from the VAT invoice received from the customer through the payment of VAT to a special VAT account set up for this purpose by a bank.

Not all transactions are covered by the obligatory mechanism of split payment, but only those related to goods and services, which have been enumerated in Appendix No. 15 to the VAT Act, including construction services. If the transaction is made by VAT taxpayers (entrepreneurs), its value exceeds PLN 15,000, and one of the items on the VAT invoice concerns sensitive goods or services, the entities participating in the transaction are obliged to apply the split payment mechanism. In such a case, the seller is obliged to identify the transaction and place the annotation “split payment” on the VAT invoice and the buyer is obliged to make the split payment according to the instructions provided by the bank.

Violation of the newly introduced provisions is subject to a penalty of an additional tax liability equal to 30% of the VAT value resulting from such an invoice (only in respect of items covered by the split payment), exclusion of the possibility to include a given expense as a tax deductible cost and penal and fiscal liability (fine up to 720 daily rates).

A team of KKPW lawyers supported the client in the sale of commercial land in Warsaw. The volume of the transaction was approximately PLN 200 million.

A team of KKPW lawyers led by attorney Magdalena Tynkowska and attorney Pawel Pucher performed due diligence on the property and supported the investor group BGI and Bank Ochrony Środowiska in the negotiations and preparation of all documentation regarding the financing of the hotel investment in Kraków.

A team of KKPW lawyers performed the DD of the property, advised on the acquisition of land and the conclusion of the investment agreement, and prepared all the documentation necessary for the realization of the Terra Casa / TC Forum group’s next real estate development project in Krakow from the name PIASTOWSKA RESIDENCE (including design agreements, investment management, general contracting, reservation and development agreements).

KKPW successfully represented the Client (a renowned design office) in a long-standing and complicated court dispute regarding the withdrawal rights against one of the public procurers. In the end, the courts of both instances (the District Court and the Court of Appeals in Krakow) almost entirely recognized the Client’s claim as legitimate, and the opposing party’s cassation complaint was subsequently dismissed by the Supreme Court.

KKPW’s team of lawyers performed the DD of the property, advised on the acquisition of land and the conclusion of the investment agreement, and prepared all the documentation necessary for the realization of the Terra Casa / TC Forum group’s next development project in Warsaw, ART DECO WOLA (including design, investment management, general contracting, reservation and development agreements).

In connection with the upcoming entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ. U. EU. L. of 2016 No. 119, p. 1, as amended), commonly referred to as “GDPR”, KKPW’s lawyers provide training and implement at clients operating in very different industries , legal solutions to ensure compliance of personal data processing with GDPR, as well as provide the services of a Data Protection Officer. (For example, at our client Ortopedicum sp. z o.o.).

KKPW represented the Client in PPO proceedings, in which a ruling was made favorable to the Client and allowing the Client to conclude a public contract with the GDDKiA.

KKPW represented the Client in PPO proceedings, in which a ruling was made favorable to the Client and allowing the Client to conclude a public contract with PKP PLK S.A.

A team of our lawyers has drafted and filed a lawsuit on behalf of a borrower against Bank Millenium SA to declare the loan agreement invalid and order the return of undue payment. This is one of the first lawsuits of its kind. We hope that lawsuits structured in this way will become a standard in so-called “swiss frank” cases.

So far, the “swiss frank borrowers” have claimed banks only for the return of so-called unfair spreads.
