Void resolutions
Resolutions are void if they drastically contradict the legal or statutory provisions. If, for instance, a new committee is elected although the end of the designated term of office has not been reached, without the previous committee having resigned or being voted out, the election resolution is void. Void resolutions have no legal effect, in contrast to resolutions that can be challenged. Disputable resolutions remain effective until they have been (successfully) challenged. For the contestation of decisions, a deadline must be respected. Nullity, on the other hand, can be asserted at any time and by anyone affected by the resolution. Please note: It is not always easy to distinguish nullity and contestability.
