The possibility of broadening the scope of court-referred mediation by including in the settlement agreement claims not covered by the lawsuit was hotly disputed in the literature over the years. Some practical issues were also troublesome when parties wanted to jointly resolve multiple disputes between them covered by various civil proceedings, because they had to seek the approval of the mediation settlement agreement before different courts. Some substantial changes in both matters were introduced by the legislator in the Act of 9 March 2023 on Amendments to the Act – Code of Civil Procedure and Certain Other Acts. Firstly, it was determined explicitly that it is also possible to cover with a mediation settlement agreement claims not covered by the statement of claim (Article 18313(2), second sentence, of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure). Secondly, the legislator generally allowed parties to choose from among the courts that had referred parties to the mediation one court to conduct a single procedure approving the joint settlement agreement related to various civil proceedings (Article 18314(21) of the CPC). Both these changes, undoubtedly, should be viewed positively. At the same time, the use of these regulations is seriously limited by the conditions set in them. Therefore, the need to expand the provisions of these articles is discussed.
