Dopuszczalność potwierdzenia czynności prawnych dokonanych w braku lub z przekroczeniem umocowania do działania za wyznaniową osobę prawną, w świetle nowelizacji art. 39 kodeksu cywilnego
Admissibility of confirming legal actions performed on behalf of legal persons of religious organizations without or outside the mandate of representation in light of the amendment to Article 39 of the Polish Civil Code

Summary/Abstract: Article 39 of the Polish Civil Code was amended on March 1, 2019. One of the changes brought in by the amendment is the sanction of suspended ineffectiveness of a contract concluded on behalf of a legal entity without or outside the mandate of representation, which applicable until the contract is confirmed or until a given contract confirmation date. As far as legal persons of religious organizations are concerned, the admissibility and effectiveness of confirming such defective legal actions may raise serious doubts in many cases. The internal law of a religious organization often fails to clearly indicate a body competent for confirming defective declarations of will. Controversies over the effectiveness of such confirmations also arise in cases when the institutional norms of legal persons of religious organization permit only acts of cooperation between subjects participating in developing their internal will before a contract is concluded. In some cases, it will be impossible to supply the missing acts of cooperation due to the shape of relevant competence norms. In addition, when the internal law of a religious organization includes the sanction of contract ineffectiveness, there arises a conflict between the two legal systems – state law and internal law of a religious organization.
