Cooperative Law

Membership relations in building cooperatives, payments beyond the share contribution, default and expulsion procedures, and transition to condominium ownership.

Cooperative law governs the formation, management and liquidation of cooperatives, housing cooperatives in particular. Members' rights, contributions and additional payments, general-assembly resolutions and the liability of the board are the main subjects.

Where property is acquired through cooperative membership — especially when land shares or memberships are sold with promises — investors' legal risks call for careful assessment.

Typical matters

  • Members' rights and expulsion in housing cooperatives
  • Actions to annul general-assembly resolutions
  • Liability of board members
  • Liquidation of cooperatives and disputes over allocation of homes

Key legislation

  • Cooperatives Law No. 1163
