Purpose: The purpose of this paper is a discussion and in-depth analysis of the legal and organizational circumstances associated with the activities of Supervisory Boards in housing cooperatives. Methodology: A critical analysis of the existing legislation, own analytical analysis of the source documents, supplemented by conclusions and observations formulated on the basis of a case study, for the preparation of which information has been used obtained from primary sources in the form of documents of the analyzed housing cooperative and information obtained through participant observation. Findings: What has a decisive impact on the mechanisms of corporate governance in housing cooperatives are the direct behaviors of Supervisory Board members, as well as the lack of awareness and involvement of the residents, who do not want to actively participate in the life of the cooperative. A diagnosis is presented of the most important factors that infl uence the actual operations of the analyzed Supervisory Board. While the current legal regulations make it possible to ensure effective and proper control as well as adequate supervision over the activities of cooperatives. Originality: The paper enriches the theory of management sciences in terms of a wider perception of the term corporate governance in relation to other organizations than companies. The presented methodological approach that is the basis for a comprehensive and thorough inspection of the activities of the Management Board can be used in other cooperatives as well. In the literature on the subject no similar analysis, supported by the results of own analytical research, had been found.

The article presents an overview deliberations concerning the issue of organizational-legal aspects associated with processes of appointing supervisory boards members in companies with State Treasury Shareholding. The author paid special attention on such problems as: formal requirement for acting as representative of the Treasury in supervisory boards and the criteria of selecting supervisory board members to assure proper functioning of corporate supervision. A crucial element of conducted analyses was a comprehensive review of important document – the Ordinance No. 45 of the Minister of Treasury of 6 December 2007 on the principles for selecting candidates for the composition of supervisory boards of commercial companies with State Treasury shareholding. In the article was clearly underlined a very important fact, that the selection of candidates for representatives of the Treasury conducted through public qualification procedure, in accordance with the analyzing Ordinance No. 45 is applicable only in narrow group of enterprises, where the Treasury is represented by the Minister of Treasury. In case of other companies, being in supervisory owner’s of other ministers, these procedures are not in force. Another occurring controversial problem with the regulations resulting from Ordinance is the letter of Human Rights Defender, being a constitutional complaint about this document. In the next part author focuses on the new recommendations introduced in “Principles of Corporate Supervision over Companies with State Treasury Shareholding”. This document is an expression of expectations of state authority, legally responsible for protecting the interests of the Treasury, that is why could not be regarded as a normative act of government administration, but only as a standard-forming document. The study contains also own thoughts and author’s views, personal reflections and critical conclusions related to discussing and analyzing issues bases on observation the real processes of the management practices and conducted research.

The article presents multifaceted considerations and results of analyses concerning the necessity to perceive the phenomenon of corruption through the prism of a gross violation of constitutional values, the principles of the rule of law and social justice. The main focus is on discussing civic rights that are effectively eradicated by corruption, at the same time emphasizing a holistic and systemic approach to understanding and interpreting specific processes and decisions confirmed in practice. At the beginning, it is explained why a broad research perspective should be adopted to understand the essence of corruption. An important argument supporting the correctness of the adopted approach are statements contained in the Government Program for Counteracting Corruption 2018–2020. Next, the most important constitutional values and civil rights are indicated, which are not respected and remain only in the declarative sphere as a result of corrupt practices. In order to prove the illusory nature and facade of certain provisions of the Polish Constitution, important statements contained in the judgments of the Constitutional Tribunal are quoted, and then these interpretations are analyzed in relation to real situations occurring in everyday reality. These problem issues are presented from the perspective of the constitutional principle of equality before the law, social justice and non discrimination. It is also noted in this regard that corruption activities are precisely the main factor leading to the division of citizens into two separate categories according to the way they are treated. Finally, it is mentioned that in the European Union ever greater emphasis is currently being placed on compliance with the rule of law. This problem is closely related to the need to understand the negative consequences of corruption as an element that undermines trust in the state, constitutional order and the rule of law.

The article presents considerations and multifaceted analyses of the conditions and motives of judicial decisions taken after the judgment of the TSUE 19 November 2019, in the context of how Poland’s judiciary system functions. It begins by explaining how to perceive and understand the essence of legal corruption in terms of the use of law, power and professional position. The possibilities of the intentional use of judicial power for specific needs and purposes is discussed in this context. The next part of the paper is devoted to a critical analysis of selectively interpreted right to a tribunal enshrined in art. 45 of the Polish Constitution in connection with other values enshrined therein. The right of every citizen to a fair and public hearing of their case, without undue delay by a competent, independent, impartial and independent court, is presented in terms of the constitutional perspective, the principle of equal treatment and non-discrimination. The problem outlined here is considered from the point of view of protection against the arbitrariness of authorities and the possibility of appealing against personnel decisions enabling employment to be taken up in selected positions in state institutions. Attention is paid to the privileged legal position of judges over other citizens. The issues described and the arguments presented in this article are entirely overlooked in the literature, as well as in public debate. What follows is an explanation of how TSUE rulings are interpreted differently by various public authorities. Reference is also made to the dictum of the Supreme Court judgment of 5 December 2019, which was issued in its Labour Law and Social Security Chamber. That process initiated specific actions and activities taken by individual groups of Supreme Court judges. Finally, the resolution of the combined three chambers of the Supreme Court on 23 January 2020, the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 20 April 2020, and divergent decisions regarding the implementation of the TSUE’s position of 8 April 2020 are discussed.

W artykule zaprezentowano rozważania nawiązujące do prowadzonych badań naukowych, które zwracają uwagę na potrzebę wypracowania określonych standardów nadzoru w spółkach komunalnych. Pierwsza część pracy koncentruje się na wyjaśnieniu istoty ładu korporacyjnego, a następnie zostały omówione najważniejsze spostrzeżenia i wnioski sformułowane w wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy stosownych dokumentów, odnoszących się do zasad sprawowania nadzoru właścicielskiego w spółkach komunalnych. Omawiane regulacje mające na celu podwyższenie standardów nadzoru właścicielskiego i wypracowanie dobrych praktyk, w szczególności zwracają uwagę na kwestie wymagań formalnych, jakie obowiązują w procesie wyboru kandydatów na członków rad nadzorczych, a także uwypuklają zadania w ramach nadzoru nad spółkami z uwzględnieniem aspektów ekonomiczno-finansowych. Autor podkreśla, że istotną rolę dla skuteczności tych działań odgrywa proces właściwego obiegu pomiędzy organami spółki informacji, dotyczących bieżącego ich funkcjonowania, co może w istotny sposób wzmocnić wewnętrzną kontrolę i ułatwić zarządzanie ryzykiem.

The article presents multi-threaded and critical issues concerning the broad perception and understanding of the rule of law in decision-making processes tied to the exercise of public authority. At the beginning, attention is drawn to the fact that ongoing discussions and disputes on the rule of law, which have been conducted for five years, focus on selected problematic aspects, and come down only to the perception of threats to the independence of the Polish judiciary. Further, the paper discusses the essence of the rule of law in the theory of Polish law (Article 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland) and clarifies the meaning of the rule of law in provisions of the Community Law which relate to values listed in Article 2 of the EU Treaty. The rule of law is also examined in the context of decision-making processes. The paper presents the essence and objectives of legal corruption, whereas – in conclusions – it formulates 10 general and universal attributes of the rule of law related to management practices. These attributes bring us closer to the proper understanding of the essence of unpunished forms of corruption. Finally, it is explained that current discussions about the rule of law are connected to the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union from 2 March 2021, which creates legal structures that allow domestic courts to ignore the Polish constitutional order.

W artykule przedstawiono wielowątkowe i krytyczne analizy dotyczące szerokiego postrzegania i rozumienia praworządności w procesach decyzyjnych związanych ze sprawowaniem władzy publicznej. Na wstępie zwrócono uwagę na fakt, że toczne od pięciu lat dyskusje i spory na temat rządów prawa, koncentrują się na wybranych aspektach problemowych i sprowadzają się wyłącznie do postrzegania zagrożeń dla niezależności polskiego sądownictwa. W dalszej części pracy omówiono istotę praworządności w teorii polskiego prawa – art. 2 Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, a także wyjaśniono rozumienie praworządności w świetle przepisów prawa wspólnotowego, które odnoszą się do wartości wpisanych do art. 2 Traktatu o Unii Europejskiej. Następne rozważania i wnikliwe analizy poświęcono praworządności w kontekście procesów decyzyjnych, a także wyjaśniono istotę i cele legalnej korupcji. W podsumowaniu sformułowano 10 ogólnych i uniwersalnych atrybutów praworządności, mających swoje odzwierciedlenie w praktyce zarządzania, które znaczącą przybliżają do właściwego zrozumienia niekaralnych form korupcji. Na koniec wyjaśniono, że aktualne dyskusje na temat praworządności mają związek z wyrokiem TSUE z 2 marca 2021 r., który tworzy struktury prawne pozwalające sądom na ignorowanie polskiego porządku konstytucyjnego.

The aim of the article is to present multidimensional analyses and deliberations that bring us closer to better understanding the corrupt practices that commonly occur in everyday economic reality. Particular attention was paid to the economic and social aspects of the corrupt behaviors which are considered, taking into account the main goals of corruption and the accompanying results. At the beginning of the work, the essence and aims of corruption were characterized, and also the author’s own definition of this phenomenon was formulated in a broad sense, according to a pragmatic approach to the analyzed problem. The consequence of the adopted research approach is that corruption has been divided into two categories – crimes and legal corruption. An important element of the analysis is the perception of corruption as a network of influences, connections and dependencies which are a consequence of actions developed in practice and the behaviors of the people in charge of the authorities. Another topic was devoted to financial benefits, which should be interpreted as an economic dimension and a basic determinant for all forms of corruption. In this part of the study, specific processes and decisions for achieving measurable financial benefits by a selected group of beneficiaries were thoroughly discussed and explained. In order to strengthen the formulated theses, remarks and conclusions, the results from the audit carried out by the Supreme Audit Office were additionally used. The findings included in the report of the Supreme Audit Office also served as an important argument for the assessment of specific behaviors in terms of public officials bearing responsibility for activities that are a conscious act of using power for their own particular interests. In the further part of the article, the assumptions and objectives of the anticorruption policy of the government included in the program documents for years 2014–2019, as well as the new version of the anti-corruption strategy for years 2018–2020, were subjected to a critical analysis. Finally, the author presented selected information included in the annual Central Anti-corruption Agency report and a few reflections summing up the process of combating corruption in Poland.

The article presents critical considerations of the principles of the rule of law analysed from the perspective of corrupt practise. Firstly, it is explained that the rule of law is an ambiguous concept, which means that it can be defined and perceived differently. The following section presents the understanding of the rule of law on the basis of EU Community law. Next, attention is drawn to the need for a broad understanding of corruption and to analyse this phenomenon from a legal, social and economic perspective. In this part of the work, arguments are presented supporting the thesis that corruption constitutes a threat to the rule of law and internal security. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the dissimilarity of views on the rule of law and corruption is a derivative of thinking focused on analysing specific facts in accordance with reality, instead of describing the theory of law.

W artykule przedstawiono krytyczne rozważania poświęcone omówieniu zasad praworządności analizowanych z perspektywy korupcyjnych praktyk. Na wstępie wyjaśniono, że praworządność jest pojęciem wieloznacznym, co sprawia, że może być różnie definiowana i postrzegana. W dalszej części przybliżono rozumienie praworządności na gruncie przepisów prawa wspólnotowego UE. Następnie zwrócono uwagę na konieczność szerokiego rozumienia korupcji oraz analizowania tego zjawiska z perspektywy prawnej, społecznej i ekonomicznej. W tej części pracy wskazano argumenty uzasadniające tezę, że korupcja stanowi zagrożenie dla praworządności i bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego. W podsumowaniu zaakcentowano, że odmienność poglądów na temat praworządności i korupcji jest pochodną myślenia ukierunkowanego na analizę konkretnych faktów zgodnych z rzeczywistością, zamiast opisywania teorii prawa.
