Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the general assembly of 29 May 2010 was validly convened by the association president
Decisione estratta
No. The convocation had to be issued by the board under the statutes and Art. 64(2) CC; the president was not the competent organ, and no valid delegation or ratification was established.
Motivazione estratta
Improper convocation by an incompetent organ is a formal defect that, under prevailing doctrine and case law, leads to nullity rather than mere voidability. The court rejected a distinction based on whether the incompetent caller was an individual member of a competent organ. Alleged long-standing practice could not be relied on because the factual basis for a clear delegation was not bindingly established.
