The aim of the paper is to justify the thesis of twofold justification for the existence of a statutory regulation of representation in a civil law partnership: the first is the specificity of the property regime of joint ownership of the company’s total assets to which the partners are entitled, and the second is the partners’ pursuit of a specified economic goal. The author also formulates de lege ferenda postulates for the institution in question, proposing to adapt the current regulation to the needs of trading, supporting his proposals with comparative legal arguments.
