Sažetak
The article will focus on the limited joint-stock partnership, which is one of the least common types of partnerships in existence. The objective is to demonstrate, based on statistical data, that its conditions vary across different countries, and subsequently to show that one of the reasons for those differences may be the dissimilar way this type of partnership is regulated. On the one hand, this type of partnership is virtually non-existent in Switzerland (9 partnerships in existence according to current data) and Italy (60 partnerships according to current data); on the other hand, there are over 200 such partnerships in Germany (222 to be precise according to 2018 data), 4,147 in Poland (data from the end of 2022) and 1,210 in France (data from October 2024). These countries differ, among other things, in their approach to regulating this type of partnership. In the Swiss-Italian model, this type of partnership is perceived to be a subtype of a joint stock-company. In the French-German model (on which Poland’s model is largely based), it is a typical hybrid partnership that combines, almost coequally, the characteristics of a limited partnership and a joint-stock company. In addition to the foregoing, for a full presentation of the possible variants of regulating the limited joint-stock partnership, a historical-legal analysis will be discussed and a third model will be presented, that is the approach to and regulation of a limited joint-stock partnership as a subtype of a limited partnership (the French Code de Commerce of 1807).
