Email this article The Essence, Nature and Significance of the Budget of a District Bar Association of Attorneys-at-Law
Abstract
The article is intended to analyse the complementary nature of legal solutions concerning the financial management of district bar associations of attorneys-at-law in Poland and the budgets they adopt and implement. This matter is of significant importance due to the nature of the tasks performed by the self-governing professional organization of attorneys-at-law (samorząd radcowski) for which the budget and its funds constitute the material and financial basis. In this context, it is necessary to thoroughly analyse the essence, nature, and significance of the budget of this unit of the professional self-government of attorneys-at-law. The currently applicable regulations, both at the level of statutory legislation and in bye-laws, should be considered insufficient. The absence of terminological precision often makes it impossible to interpret the provisions without raising doubt. Due to the self-governing nature of the bar association, new regulations should arise from internal organizational norms issued under an explicit and precise statutory delegation contained in the Attorneys-at-Law Act.
