Commentaries: Art. 1167

Each owner of a bond or his representative, or in the case of bonds under a usufruct either the usufructuary or his representative, has the right to vote. However, the usufructuary is liable in damages to the owner for any failure to take due account of the latter’s interests when exercising the right to vote.
Bonds owned by or held in usufruct by the borrower confer no right to vote. However, where bonds belonging to the borrower have been given in pledge, the pledgee is entitled to exercise the associated right to vote.
A charge or special lien held by the borrower on bonds does not preclude the right to vote of the owners of such bonds.
