Code of Canon Law does not specify what this Board has to be, haw many members has to have; this must define constitutions of particular institute. To know well the nature and role of this Board, one must look not only to the canon law but also to the institute own law. Norm law foresees three manners of acting for superior Board. One of them is the opinion. There exist concrete situations in law, which demand from superior an opinion of the Board, before making a decision. Second manner of Board activity is agreement on legal acting of superior. Here, the Board’s decision will bind superior if he want to make an act on which he received an assent. Collegial activity of the Board is another way of acting for superior and his Board. In this case, superior and his Board constitute one group, thus, the act is given by them in collegial manner.
