This paper presents a multi-faceted argumentation in favour of the position that the Bank Guarantee Fund (BFG) is entitled, under the civil proceedings, to require the arbitration of the so-called legal claim resulting in adjudication from the National Association of Co-operative Savings and Credit Unions (Krajowa Spółdzielcza Kasa Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowa) the unpaid amount of money from the available stabilisation fund funds for the reimbursement of guaranteed deposits to depositors of the National Association. Provisions of already repealed Article 55 paragraph 1a of the Act of 5 November 2009 on Associations of Co-operative Savings and Credit Unions as well as of the no longer legally binding Art. 38r paragraph 2 of the Act of 14 December 1994 on Bank Guarantee Fund constitute the foundation of this claim. It results from the fact that the concept of legal action should be understood as widely as possible. It means that an administrative act, causing consequences in terms of civil law, also constitutes action or omission, effects of which can be recognised at the court. However, it is also an issue of the very nature of the legal relationship between the BFG and the National Association of Co-operative Savings and Credit Unions, resulting from the legal institution of free payment of the stabilisation fund. At the same time – the essence of the stabilisation fund, functions of the bank deposit guarantee system as well as ratio legis of the analysed regulations – speak in favour of represented opinion.
