In the event of the nullity of a company or of acts and deliberations subsequent to its incorporation, based on a defect in consent or the incapacity of a member, and where regularisation can be effected, any person having an interest therein may give formal notice to the person likely to effect the nullity, either to regularise the situation or to bring an action for nullity within a period of six months on pain of foreclosure. This formal notice shall be served on the company.
The company or a partner may submit to the court to which the matter is referred within the period provided for in the preceding paragraph, any measure likely to remove the interest of the plaintiff, in particular by the repurchase of his corporate rights. In this case, the court may either declare the proposed measures null and void or make them compulsory, if they have been previously adopted by the company in accordance with the conditions laid down for amendments to the Articles of Association. The vote of the shareholder whose rights are requested to be bought back has no influence on the company’s decision.
In the event of a dispute, the value of the corporate rights to be repaid to the member is determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 1843-4 of the Civil Code. Any clause to the contrary is deemed unwritten.
