Key legal question
Whether the statements in the incorporation documents that the share capital was fully paid in and freely available to the company were false
Extracted holding
Yes. In a sham incorporation, the capital was only formally paid in and was never economically available to the company.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 629(2) and 630 OR, capital contribution requires an unconditional and effective payment enabling free corporate disposal. Since the money was merely placed temporarily for incorporation and then to be returned, the declarations of full liberation and free availability were materially untrue.
