Abstract

The publication is a continuation of the article which concerns an analysis of joining of the company by the spouse of_a_shareholder where the share or shares are part of the family patrimony. Herein it is dissussed how the rights arising from joint property, which also includes the shares, are executed. The proper estimation whether the provisions of the Family and Guardianship Code or the Commercial Companies Code shall be applicable here is significant. Art. 36 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code stipulates that each spouse is free to manage the joint property, but art. 184 § 1 / art. 333 § of the Commercial Companies Code provides that the joint holders of a share or shares shall exercise their rights in the company through a common representative. In the prima facie view, there is a conflict of provisions.
