TI - Amendments to the provisions on financial penalties for failure to notify the disposal or acquisition of a vehicle as an example of underdeveloped legislation
AB - On January 1, 2024, the long-awaited changes to the Road Traffic Law came into force, imposing administrative fines on vehicle owners (former owners) for failure to notify about their purchase or sale. The penalty for failure to notify about the purchase of a vehicle has been replaced in the abovementioned regulations with a penalty for failure to register it. The penalty rates have also changed, and the obligation for co-owners to bear the penalty jointly and severally has been introduced. The legislator has also excluded the possibility of applying general provisions on penalties from Chapter IVA of the Polish Code of Administrative Procedure, including the possibility of waiving the imposition of a penalty. Although some of the changes should be assessed positively, some errors were highlighted in this article.
