The managing partners are liable, individually or jointly and severally, as the case may be, to the company or to third parties, either for breaches of the legislative or regulatory provisions applicable to limited liability companies, or for breaches of the articles of association, or for misconduct in their management.
If several managers have cooperated in the same acts, the court shall determine the contributory share of each in the reparation of the damage.
In addition to the action for reparation of the damage suffered personally, the members may, either individually or by grouping together under the conditions laid down by decree of the Conseil d’Etat, bring the corporate action for liability against the managers. The plaintiffs are entitled to seek compensation for the entire loss suffered by the company to which, where applicable, the damages are awarded.
Any clause in the Articles of Association which has the effect of making the exercise of the action of the company subject to the prior opinion or authorisation of the general meeting, or which entails in advance a waiver of the exercise of such action, is deemed to be unwritten.
No decision of the General Meeting may have the effect of extinguishing an action for liability against the Executive Chairmen for fault committed in the performance of their duties.
