The author is concerned with the existence of common supporting lines for disjoint families of bodies (compact convex sets) in the plane. He shows that if every 5-element subfamily of a disjoint family has a common support, then the whole family has also a common support. Furthermore, he proves that if every 4-element (3-element) subfamily of a disjoint family of seven or more (237 or more) bodies has a common support, then the whole family has also a common support.
