Abstract

Summary

In 2011 a heated debate flared up on a controversial issue in the doctrine of Polish commercial law: which of the two kinds of proceedings prescribed by the Polish Commercial Companies Code (k.s.h.) was applicable for action to have a company’s resolution declared invalid on grounds of its incompatibility with a non-mandatory provision? It was triggered when Michał Romanowski put a provocative question in the specialist commercial law periodical Przegląd Prawa Handlowego – was a resolution a company’s shareholders adopted which was incompatible with a non-mandatory provision in breach of the law? Romanowski’s article evoked a large amount of criticism. This paper consists of two parts. The first part is descriptive and gives an account of the debate in 2011-2012 and the opinions of its main contributors. In the second part I examine the arguments put forward and present my own opinion on the matter.

Keywords:

incompatibility with a non-mandatory provision, action to have a company’s resolution declared invalid, a non-mandatory provision, proceedings to challenge a resolution.
