1. In private limited companies, public limited companies and partnerships limited by shares, mistake, fraud, duress and usury may be invoked as just cause for withdrawal by the member affected or prejudiced, provided that the circumstances, including the time requirements, which under civil law would make them relevant for the annulment of the legal transaction are present.
1 - Nas sociedades por quotas, anónimas e em comandita por acções o erro, o dolo, a coacção e a usura podem ser invocados como justa causa de exoneração pelo sócio atingido ou prejudicado, desde que se verifiquem as circunstâncias, incluindo o tempo, de que, segundo a lei civil, resultaria a sua relevância para efeitos de anulação do negócio jurídico.
2. In those companies, incapacity of one of the parties renders the legal transaction voidable in relation to that party.
2 - Nas mesmas sociedades, a incapacidade de um dos contraentes torna o negócio jurídico anulável relativamente ao incapaz.
Defects of consent give grounds for withdrawal; incapacity produces relative voidability.
