Abstract
In Poland the term lobby has a number of meanings, which is undoubtedly the result of an
absence o f a comprehensive and full legal regulation of this particular institution. The first part of the
paper is therefore devoted to definitions of ‘lobby’ formulated in non-legal literature. Then, legal
definitions of lobbying that operate in selected states (USA, Australia, Canada, Georgia and
Lithuania) are presented. The last part of the paper contains presentation of common features of the
analysed definitions. The terms „interest groups” as well as „lobby groups” with reference to the
Private Members’ Bills concerning the phenomenon o f lobbying are also discussed. In its essence, the
paper is a somewhat critical characteristics o f the Polish definition o f ‘lobbying’ shown on the basis of
several problems that arose in the process o f the work o f the parliamentary Extraordinary Committee.
In conclusion, several obervations de lege ferenda concerning the existing legal regulation are
presented.
