THE EXERCISE OF SHAREHOLDER’S RIGHTS IN CASES OF SHARES THAT ARE COMMUNITY PROPERTY

Abstract

The Decision of the Directorate-General of Registries and Notarial Affairs of 25 July 2014 admits that, when a shareholder is married under a com-munity property regime, the shareholder's spouse is entitled to apply to the Business Registry to have an auditor appointed. The decision does not look at the question in terms of the fact that, for the company, whether the shares are owned as com-munity property or not is generally (and naturally) a non-issue.
