Legal revolution in commercial companies – broader powers of parent entities
9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy
In the pages of Biznesalert.pl, attorney Maciej Wasilewski lists and comments on revolutionary changes in company law. The package of tools available to a subsidiary will be significantly expanded.
The result of the introduction of numerous powers, and in particular the ability to issue binding orders, will be to equip the parent company with the ability to exercise real control and supervision over its group companies directly.
In conclusion, basing liability on principles analogous to Article 299 of the Commercial Code is a convenient solution, but for the legislator. This is because such a solution may undermine the decision-making process of many entities, including those operating in the energy industry. A subsidiary that is, in the legal sense, responsible for the implementation of a specific project may be very reluctant to carry out an order in pursuit of the so-called “group interest,” which, after all, may not coincide with the interests of the entities implementing the project.
-comments attorney Maciej Wasilewski.
