Questão jurídica principal
Whether the profit should have been distributed as a dividend instead of carried forward
Decisão extraída
The general meeting had broad discretion to retain profits; no legal or statutory duty to distribute a dividend was shown.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 698(2) No. 4 CO, allocation of profits is for the general meeting. Only arbitrary, unreasonable refusal to distribute would be unlawful, which was not shown here.
