OBS

Si les administrateurs prennent une décision de bonne foi, de manière informée et dans le meilleur intérêt de la compagnie, les tribunaux appliquent la règle de l'appréciation commerciale et ne tiennent pas les administrateurs personnellement responsables si cette décision ou les conséquences de cette décision tournent mal.
