Convocation of the general meeting in a cooperative whose supreme governing body is the meeting of representatives – remarks in the light of the amendment of the Housing Cooperative Act

Abstract

Until the registration of the statutes meeting the requirements of the amendment of the Housing Cooperative Act, housing cooperatives whose statutes provided for replacement of the general meeting with the meeting of representatives have retained the right to convene meetings of representatives. At the same time, however, in the period preceding registration of changes in the statutes performed as required under Art. 9.1 of the amendment of the Housing Cooperative Act, such cooperatives could convene general meetings. Resolutions of general meetings of housing cooperatives, which in the light of the contents of the still binding statutes should have convened meetings of representatives, should be considered as existent and valid providing the general meetings was convened properly, and the meeting was proceeded correctly.
