A Gloss to the Decision of the Supreme Court of 16 October 2014, File Ref. No. III Csk 301/13
Journal Title: Roczniki Nauk Prawnych - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The gloss addresses the decision of 16 October 2014, III CSK 301/13, in which the Supreme Court adopted the position that a member of the governing body of a legal entity may, in principle, be a witness to making a testament in which a benefit is provided for that legal person. Similarly, in the Supreme Court’s opinion, a witness to the making of a will may, in principle, be a member of a corporate legal person for which a benefit is provided in that will. The author offers a critical assessment of that position. He considers as appropriate the view according to which a last will in which a benefit is envisaged for a legal person cannot, in principle, be witnessed by either an officer of such a legal entity, or by any member (shareholder) of a corporate legal person.
