The “blocking minority” concerns decision-making by a company, through its decision- making bodies. Their operation is regulated by law, the statutes and, directly or indirectly, by extra-statutory agreements.<\/p>\n

A blocking minority is defined as a minority when shareholders or minority shareholders\u00a0 block a meeting decision by their vote.<\/p>\n

The majority of votes required for a decision to be taken varies according to the types of decisions, while the blocking minority allowing opposition also varies. The question of the blocking minority must therefore always be examined\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 light\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 nature\u00a0 or purpose of the specific decisions.<\/p>\n

For each decision, the overall legal and contractual framework applicable to the company\u00a0 and its shareholders must be taken into account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18823","legalconcepts","type-legalconcepts","status-publish","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nblocking minority - e2.law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.e2.law\/en\/legalconcepts\/blocking-minority\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"blocking minority - e2.law\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The “blocking minority” concerns decision-making by a company, through its decision- making bodies.
