La delibera negativa, concretizzandosi in una vera e propria decisione resa al termine del procedimento assembleare, è impugnabile da parte dei soci dissenzienti rispetto al rigetto della proposta. Ad essa può seguire l’approvazione giudiziale della corrispondente delibera positiva qualora vi sia stato un errore nel conteggio dei voti, oppure, espunti i voti illegittimi, i restanti costituiscano la maggioranza richiesta per l’approvazione della delibera. Il socio impugnante, per ottenere una tutela effettiva dei propri interessi, deve definire esattamente il contenuto della decisione da adottare in modo tale da escludere una indebita ingerenza nella società da parte del giudice, che si limiterebbe ad approvare quell’unico risultato deliberativo illegittimamente non proclamato. Tenuto conto della necessaria sussistenza, nella disciplina spagnola, di una delibera formale di modifica dell’oggetto sociale ai fini dell’esercizio, da parte del socio dissenziente, del diritto di recesso, il socio stesso, dinanzi a cambiamenti di fatto dell’oggetto sociale, può impugnare la delibera negativa di rigetto della modifica di quest’ultimo e, una volta approvata giudizialmente la proposta di modifica, esercitare in via consequenziale il recesso.

Abstract

The negative resolution, which takes the form of an actual decision made by the shareholders’ meeting at the end of the meeting procedure, may be challenged by dissenting shareholders with respect to the rejection of the proposal, and may be followed by judicial approval of the corresponding positive resolution. The judicial approval is possible if there has been an error in the counting of votes or if, after the illegitimate votes have been expelled, the remaining votes constitute the majority required for the approval of the resolution itself. The contesting shareholder, in order to obtain real protection of his interests, has to define exactly the content of the decision to be adopted in such a way as to exclude excessive interference in the company by the judge, who would just approve the proposal which was unlawfully not proclaimed. In Spanish law a formal resolution to amend the corporate purpose is required for the exercise, by the dissenting shareholder, of the exit right, therefore the shareholder himself, in case of substantial changes in the corporate purpose, may challenge the negative resolution rejecting the amendment and, once the proposed amendment has been judicially approved, consequently exercise the exit right.
