Summary/Abstract: This legal opinion aims to address the question whether a person performing the function (church office) of the Economist of the Polish Bishops’ Conference meets the condition set out in art. 44 para. 3 of the Act of 28 August 1997 on the organization and functioning of pension funds, that is, whether he belongs to the group of so-called “dependent persons”. The analysis of the legal and factual situation in this particular case has led to the conclusion that the mere fact of being the Economist of the Polish Bishops’ Conference does not satisfy the negative condition from art. 44 para. 3 of the Act on the organization and functioning of pension funds. However, since the person performing the function of the Economist of the Polish Bishops’ Conference is at the same time employed by the organizational unit of the Polish Bishops’ Conference called “The Secretariat of the Polish Bishops’ Conference – Economic Activity”, that is, the organizational unit within the Polish Bishops’ Conference (a stockholder of an insurance company), he does satisfy the condition set out in the regulation at issue and in consequence is the so-called “dependent person”.
