Immoral purpose
If an association has a wrongful or immoral purpose, it will be dissolved by law. Regardless of how the purpose is described in the articles of association, the actual conduct of the association’s executive bodies is what counts. Immoral conduct refers to behaviour that is contrary to accepted manners and the standards of morality. This applies, for instance, to a sect that excessively restricts personal freedom or an organisation with the purpose of obtaining kickbacks.
