Legal points and course of action

A challenge to a resolution may involve seeking invalidation of the decision, cancellation of its registration or other consequential measures. The relief sought must match the defect alleged and the consequences of the decision.

In every case, compare the company’s current registration records, internal documents and actual events. Similar case labels do not mean that the relief sought, opposing party or legal outcome will be the same.

Frequently asked questions

Where there is a material statutory or articles-of-association defect—concerning the body’s competence, convening the meeting, quorum, voting or acts beyond authority—the possibility of legal action must be assessed.
No. Registration of a decision does not necessarily prevent a challenge to its validity. The appropriate claim and effects of registration must nevertheless be assessed for the particular case.
The absence of a partner or shareholder alone does not mean invalidity. The manner of invitation, the legal and statutory quorum, and the voting rights of individuals must be examined.
