Questão jurídica principal
Whether the founders' exclusion from the foundation board was validly adopted and supported by an important reason
Decisão extraída
Yes. The board had authority to exclude the founders for important reasons, given the serious and persistent conflict that paralysed the foundation's functioning.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the dispute was mainly structural and organizational, not a disagreement over the foundation's purpose. The founders and the other board members blocked each other, endangering the foundation's viability; this constituted an important reason justifying exclusion.
