A member who obtains annulment of the articles in the cases provided for in Article 45(2) and Article 46 is entitled to recover what that member contributed and may not be required to complete the contribution; however, where annulment is based on a defect of consent or usury, that member is not released, as against third parties, from any liability imposed by law for the company's obligations arising before registration of the proceedings or of the judgment.
O sócio que obtiver a anulação do contrato, nos casos do n.º 2 do artigo 45.º e do artigo 46.º, tem o direito de reaver o que prestou e não pode ser obrigado a completar a sua entrada, mas, se a anulação se fundar em vício da vontade ou usura, não ficará liberto, em face de terceiros, da responsabilidade que por lei lhe competir quanto às obrigações da sociedade anteriores ao registo da acção ou da sentença.
Restitution and unpaid contribution release are distinguished from continuing third-party liability.
