Any person who, being under a duty to draw up or sign the minutes of a company meeting, fails without justification to do so, or acts in such a way that another person under the same duty is unable to do so, is punishable, unless a more severe penalty applies under another legal provision, by a fine of up to 240 days.
Aquele que, tendo o dever de redigir ou assinar ata de assembleia social, sem justificação o não fizer, ou agir de modo que outrem igualmente obrigado o não possa fazer, é punido, se pena mais grave não couber por força de outra disposição legal, com pena de multa até 240 dias.
The duty to draw up or sign minutes, the “without justification” condition, the subsidiarity to more severe penalties under other legal provisions and the fine of up to 240 days are retained.
