Polish Cooperative Law

Polish Cooperative Law governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of cooperatives in Poland. A cooperative is a voluntary association where members pool resources or efforts to meet common economic, social, or cultural needs. The law sets out rules for registration, governance, decision-making, and financial management to ensure transparency and fairness. It emphasizes democratic principles, with members typically having equal voting rights. The law also regulates relationships with external entities and addresses issues like liability and conflict resolution, ensuring that cooperatives operate efficiently, ethically, and in line with national policy supporting mutual economic benefit and community development.
