Gesamtvermögensgeschäfte im Gesellschaftsrecht

»Total Asset Transactions in Corporate Law«: Section 179a of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) imposes a system-alien restriction on the principle of unlimited and unrestricted power of representation applicable to commercial companies for transactions involving the entire assets of a stock corporation. In 1995, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) extended the scope of application of the norm to include partnership law. This study proves that there is no need for such a cross-legal form of recourse to Section 179a AktG.
