Question juridique clé
Whether X.________ SA had active standing to sue on the brokerage contract despite the company name change and timing of registration.
Solution extraite
Yes. The contract was concluded with the same legal entity despite the change of corporate name, and the company could be represented before the register entry once its board authority existed; it therefore had standing to enforce the claim.
Motifs extraits
The court held that a change of company name does not create a new legal person. The erroneous use of the new name before its registration was only a misdesignation. B.________ had board authority, and the company later ratified his acts by suing in its own name.
