Sanction of gratuitous loan transposes EU law into the Polish legal system. This has a number of legal consequences, as it means that national law is saturated with content derived indirectly from EU law. The aim of this publication is to assess whether the sanction of gratuitous loan meets the criteria for a sanction from the perspective of Article 23 of Directive 2008/48. In addition, it discusses other difficulties associated with the application of the sanction of gratuitous loan, arising in particular from the proportionality of the sanction.
