Article 337 of the Civil Code makes each director liable, jointly with the other directors, for the decisions of the board of directors, unless they had their dissent recorded in the minutes. A director absent from a meeting is presumed not to have approved the decisions taken there.
This article, from the general rules on legal persons, applies to a co-ownership syndicate: the board decides by majority, but each director answers for the board's decisions.
To distance themselves from a decision, a director must have their dissent entered in the minutes of the meeting. Faithful minutes therefore protect both the board and the director who objected.
CondoAide keeps the board's minutes in the register, time-stamped and available to the co-owners, so decisions and dissents stay traceable.
