In its amendment to the Act on converting perpetual usufructs into ownership rights, the Constitutional Tribunal has given greater freedom to local authorities in granting this right. Will this amendment affect the development of new projects or will it only affect the relationship between investors and local government?

Aneta Cichla
Endpiece

We usually see our bosses in either a good or a bad light. But we still rarely end up taking on their duties ourselves
