1. Until the articles of association have been definitively registered, the invalidity of the articles or of any declaration of intent forming part of them is governed by the provisions applicable to void or voidable legal transactions, without prejudice to Article 52.
1 - Enquanto o contrato de sociedade não estiver definitivamente registado, a invalidade do contrato ou de uma das declarações negociais rege-se pelas disposições aplicáveis aos negócios jurídicos nulos ou anuláveis, sem prejuízo do disposto no artigo 52.º
2. Invalidity arising from incapacity may be invoked by the party lacking capacity or that party's legal representative against both the other parties and third parties; invalidity arising from a defect of consent or usury may be invoked only against the other members.
2 - A invalidade decorrente de incapacidade é oponível pelo contraente incapaz ou pelo seu representante legal, tanto aos outros contraentes como a terceiros; a invalidade resultante de vício da vontade ou de usura só é oponível aos demais sócios.
