La Dirección general sostiene que el registrador puede enjuiciar la validez del acuerdo social de aprobación de cuentas si le consta que se pidió asistencia de notario a la junta y no se le demuestra que asistiera 22 marzo, 2023
Es la Resolución de la Dirección General de Seguridad Jurídica y Fe Pública de 1 de marzo de 2023. Una salvajada. Aunque no consta que ningún socio impugnara los acuerdos; aunque se trataba, simplemente, del acuerdo de aprobación de cuentas, el Registro Mercantil declara por sí y ante sí la ineficacia de los acuerdos sociales adoptados por unos particulares […]

Bamboozled? 27 enero, 2023
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.
