Abstract
According to the provisions of the Code of Commercial Companies (i.e. Art. 385), Supervisory Board must be composed of at least three members and, with regard to public law companies, five members. The problem occurs when the above-mentioned entity is composed of a minimum number of members and one of them makes a statement on his resignation from Supervisory Board’s membership. Hence, the company’s Supervisory Board is composed of merely two members from the moment such a statement has been made, i.e. it is unable to undertake actions. The article considers the issue of resignation from Supervisory Board’s membership. Additionally, the author attempts to determine herein whether under Art. 189 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP), a limited liability company (LLC) [spółka z o.o.] has a legal interest to determine invalidity of the statement made by Supervisory Board’s member on his membership resignation. I also analyse legal effects of the statement on resignation from Limited Liability Company Supervisory Board’s membership made by one of its members.
