Abstract
This paper is motivated by three goals: more advanced knowledge modeling techniques on the basis of the statute-specific legal ontology in the domain of commercial law are presented; secondly, a number of real-life problems solutions using a kind of reasoning system show how the reasoning may be held over the ontology; finally, we point out some difficulties which may be encountered at the building process of similar knowledge models. The ontology describes fundamental concepts taken from the Polish Commercial Companies Code which has been amended in order to comply Polish law with EU standards.
