Orange Polska consumer advertising fine upheld by competition court

Company: Orange Polska S.A.

Summary

UOKiK found that Orange Polska misled consumers in advertising for Neostrada promotions by prominently advertising low monthly prices while failing to clearly communicate additional costs applicable to customers without a landline. The authority originally imposed a fine exceeding PLN 16 million. In April 2019 the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection upheld the finding that the advertising could mislead consumers, while reducing the fine to more than PLN 13 million.
