1. Resolutions of the board of directors are void if:

a) Adopted at a board meeting which was not convened, unless all directors were present or represented or, where the articles of association so permit, voted by correspondence;
a) Tomadas em conselho não convocado, salvo se todos os administradores tiverem estado presentes ou representados, ou, caso o contrato o permita, tiverem votado por correspondência;
b) Their subject matter is, by its nature, not open to resolution by the board of directors;

2. Article 56(2) and (3) applies with the necessary adaptations.
2 - É aplicável, com as necessárias adaptações, o disposto nos n.os 2 e 3 do artigo 56.º
3. Resolutions which contravene provisions of the law, where nullity does not apply, or provisions of the articles of association are voidable.
3 - São anuláveis as deliberações que violem disposições quer da lei, quando ao caso não caiba a nulidade, quer do contrato de sociedade.
The three grounds of nullity, the exception for meetings attended or voted on by all directors, the cross-reference to Article 56(2) and (3), and voidability for other breaches of law or the articles are retained.
