Consistency of the European project PEICL with the Polish Civil Code in view of art. 807

This paper contains an analysis of the meaning of art. 807 of the Polish Civil Code in the context of the possibility of applying uniform international law to an insurance contract. The essence of the Project on Insurance Contract Law (PEICL) is presented in the text and a discussion about international reinsurance contract law (PRICL) is included. Attention is drawn to the current shortcomings of the content of art. 807 of the Civil Code, which is why the author also formulates a de lege ferenda conclusion regarding the content of art. 807 of the Civil Code to the concept of allowing an indication of substantive law prior to its latest amendment, with appropriate clarification. The paper also presents the possibilities of a codex interpretation of the current regulation of an insurance contract.
