Question juridique clé
Whether the founder-shareholder employment and pension contracts were invalid for self-dealing or conflict of interest reasons
Solution extraite
The contracts were valid because all shareholders participated in the transactions, which amounted to ratification by the general meeting despite the conflict of interest.
Motifs extraits
A conflict of interest existed, but all shareholders acted unanimously. That unanimous action was equivalent to approval by the supreme corporate body, so the contracts were effective from a corporate representation standpoint.
