Gestaltungsfreiheit und Gestaltungsgrenzen im polnischen Vertragskonzernrecht

Membership in the European Union has prompted the Eastern Middle European states to reform their corporate laws, and these reforms also include the creation of modern laws concerning groups of companies. Joanna Schubel studies the company law relating to groups in the Polish Commercial Code (KSH) from the year 2000 and the Hungarian law regulating to groups of companies from the year 2006. She shows national and international groups of companies how to give their relationships legal security, taking into account the various group strategies. In order to ensure this security, the author recommends the conclusion of a contract, and makes suggestions on how to do this. The description given of Polish and Hungarian law demonstrates how the German corporate group law could be developed.
