O zaniechanej akcji likwidacji przedwojennych spółek prawa handlowego w Polsce Ludowej

Abstract

After the World War II commercial law companies, even though they had been deprived of their enterprises, were mostly not crossed off the Commercial Register (in Polish: Rejestr Handlowy). Regardless of the fact that they had been deprived of their properties, they still existed. In spite of the fact that communists considered passing a bill that would cause their ultimate liquidation, it appeared that closing down the commercial law companies may actually lead to a deterioration in international relations with western states. This state of affairs surprisingly meant that nowadays one can reactivate the prewar companies. Therefore documents that have been recovered are of great importance for both legal practitioners (mainly judges and attorneys at law) and theorists of law.
