What is the legal basis of the discharge of the board of directors?
Antwort
The discharge is anchored in Swiss company law as a non-transferable power of the general meeting (Art. 698 CO). It is closely linked to the liability regime of the board of directors (Art. 754 CO) and the statutory provisions governing its effects (Art. 758 CO). Together, these rules define when and to what extent a discharge is legally relevant.
