The judgment of the Supreme Court dated 23 June, 2020 (V CSK 521/18) is of substantial importance for limited liability companies with a supervisory board, as well as for entities that are considering establishing a limited liability company with a supervisory board. The ruling referred to in the commentary indicates that it is possible to delegate a supervisory board member to the management board of a limited liability company and at the same time it indicates the framework in which such a structure must be construed in order to comply with the nature of the relationship between a limited liability company and its shareholder. The judgement covered by the commentary deserves to be approved and acknowledged. This article is aiming to serve as input to the debate on the right to delegate a supervisory board member to the management board of a limited liability company and on the terms of implementing thereof.
