Abstract

A water law company is one of the oldest organizational forms connected with water resources management and development of water law. Water law companies being an association of natural and juridical persons do not operate with the aim of gaining a profit. Their foremost goal is the fulfillment of needs and provisions stipulated by the water law which concerns water resource management. Water law companies as public sector entities are subject to supervision exercised by Starosta (head of poviat). The supervision constitutes legally allowed supervisory measures of controlling and correctional nature which can be taken against a water law company. The supervisory measures of correctional nature are understood as an interference of a supervisory body in a company’s activity with the aim of rectifying a state of matter that is incompatible with the principles of law. Putting a water law company under administrative supervision, which is regarded by representatives of the doctrine as a characteristic feature of this type of organizational and legal form, constitutes a sign of administrative and legal rationing of freedom of association which derives from a water law company’s statutory objectives associated with its involvement in water resources management.
