Abstract

The article discusses the problem of application of Art 15 § 1 and 2 of the Commercial Companies Code. With a view to practical significance of this matter it is justified to refer to the judgments of the Supreme Court and apellate courts made in recent years. Their analysis allows for a conclusion that a consistent line of jurisprudence has emerged regarding the scope of the provision in question, based on the functional understanding of the phrase “other similar agreements”. The purposive interpretation of the provision is also used to understand the substantive scope, although in this case – as a rule – it is sufficient to refer to the colloquial understanding of the phrase that arouses doubts.
