The article explores collective criminal liability in the Republic of Poland. The analysis of the relevant provisions of Polish law is preceded by a summary of the approaches to the understanding of collective criminal liability abroad, determining the interrelation of the notions of collective criminal liability and corporate criminal liability, defining the content of criminal liability of legal persons in the narrow and broad sense. The paper considers the substantive provisions of the Republic of Poland’s legislation regulating collective criminal liability (criminal liability of legal entities in a broad sense), as well as views of the Polish criminal law doctrine on the nature of such liability and prospects of improving its legal regulation.
