Protección legal y jurisprudencial frente el abuso del derecho al voto en sociedades

Abstract

This paper studies the issue of abuse of voting rights in Colombian companies, focusing on the different types of shareholder oppression through abusive voting: minority, majority, and parity shareholder. The paper analyzes the main rulings issued by the Superintendence of Business Associations and the legal and jurisprudential protection methods in place. The remedies for such abuses may include the nullity of a corporate decision or monetary damages damages. The paper also presents some cases decided by the Superintendence of Corporations that allows an understanding of the application of these mechanisms in the current context of Colombian companies.
