Key legal question
Whether the registry authority and reviewing courts had full review power over the legality of the proposed participation certificates.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the proposal affected the basic structure of the cooperative and public interests, the legality had to be examined without limitation.
Extracted reasoning
A proposal to introduce a new equity-like capital category is comparable to a legally non-envisaged legal form or transformation; the authority may not rely only on a merely arguable interpretation.
