The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic presented Polish legislators with a host of legal dilemmas, the aftermath of which resulted in numerous legislative changes. A significant part of these relate to entrepreneurial law in a broad sense. However, the situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic also had a broader dimension, resulting in the introduction of exceptions as the global norm. Similarly, in the domestic legal order, the actions of public authorities in various forms (restrictions, limitations, and ultimately the Lockdown), as well as non-legislative legal activity gave rise to many problems in Poland and have been the subject of various assessments. Hence, the book analyses the legal situation of entrepreneurs in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic both in terms of the amendments and changes introduced and the new regulations, commonly referred to in the public sphere as "covid laws" or "anti-covid shields". Therefore, the book assesses the legal solutions and the level of legislative technique in the broadly understood entrepreneurial law. It focuses on the solutions introduced by Polish legislators and seeks to answer the following questions: to what extent did the relevant public authorities appropriately respond to the threats posed by the pandemic, and did they effectively provide legal protection for entrepreneurs?
