Dopuszczalność umownej regulacji odpowiedzialności inwestora za zapłatę wynagrodzenia należnego podwykonawcy generalnego wykonawcy i jej zakres

Abstract

The article deals with the possibility of contractual shaping of, arising from art. 6471 § 5 Civil Code the investor’s responsibility for payment of remuneration due to the subcontractor of the general contractor for construction works. Art. 6471 § 6 Civil Code Indicates that different contract terms are invalid, but, on the other hand, statutory regulation is very general, which raises the question of whether it is possible to specify it in the contract. Considerations lead to the conclusion that the freedom of contract is narrow and is essentially limited to the issue of clearance between the general contractor and the investor when the latter makes a payment to the subcontractor. It is also possible to regulate the information obligations of the general contractor to the investor in respect of the clearance of the first contractor with the subcontractors.
