The Court indicated that Article 13a of the act of July 28, 2005 on court costs in civil matters (consolidated text of the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2022, item 1125) applies to claims arising by consumers resulting from banking activities (Article 5 § 1 and 2 of the act of August 29, 1997 – Banking Law, consolidated text, Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2022, item 2324). In the Resolution of October 20, 2022 (case file no. III CZP 96/22), the Polish Supreme Court stated that the incurring by the claimant of the costs related to the service by the bailiff after the issuance of the judgment closing the proceedings in the case justifies the award of these costs from the defendant pursuant to Article 1081 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure.
