Questão jurídica principal
Whether the LLC has passive standing in an action under Art. 815(2) CO to remove a manager’s management and representation powers.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The company itself is the proper defendant because the action protects the company’s organizational interest in functioning management, not the personal interest of the manager.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 815(2) CO serves as a safeguard for the company’s ability to pursue its purpose. The material right therefore lies against the company as the subject whose organizational interest is at stake. The manager whose powers are challenged need not be an indispensable party, even in a two-member LLC.
