Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the legal question regarding whether a cooperative's supervisory board could delegate its statutory powers to its president. The lower court found that the supervisory board had violated Article 45 of the Cooperative Law by allowing the president to unilaterally change working conditions for a board member. The Supreme Court held that statutory powers cannot be delegated via statute to the president, as such delegation would render the specific statutory list of presidential powers in Article 46 redundant.
