Italian term

decadra

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) articles of association
I am never sure how to translate this. Is is 'stepping down'? Obviously not, as the sentence goes on to say 'the remaining Directors must urgently call a meeting .....' TIA for any insight

20.1 Qualora per dimissioni o qualsiasi altra causa venissero a mancare 3 (tre) dei Consiglieri in carica, decadrà l’intero Consiglio e gli amministratori rimasti in carica dovranno convocare d’urgenza l’assemblea per la nomina dell’intero Consiglio.

Nicholas Hogg Jul 7, 2015:
sorry. It is the board and not the board members that this refers to.

shall cease to hold office

I suppose the Board doesn't exist at that point but a fiction is maintained that the directors other than the three who no longer hold office still have an official function.

What they actually mean is that the former directors other than those who officially no longer hold office other than by virtue of the dissolution of the Board must call a meeting.

In response to the comment, a board can hold office. See e.g. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2152.44

Peer comment(s):

disagree Nicholas Hogg : I think your last sentence of explanation holds the key. The Board is dissolved. The Board does not hold an office per se.

shall cease to exist. shall no longer exist

This is what happens but I cannot find official confirmation of the wording.
