Unanimiteit
Unanimity
Unanimity means that all those entitled to vote support a decision without any opposing votes.
Unanimity refers to the situation in which all participants in a decision-making process fully consent to a proposal, with no dissenting votes. This produces a binding outcome that is representative of the group as a whole.
Under Dutch law, unanimity is relevant to corporate decisions, such as amendments to the articles of association or resolutions of the management board, as it avoids conflicts and enhances legal certainty.
In practice, unanimity yields more stable results and reduces the risk of subsequent disputes, since all parties stand behind the decision.
“The shareholders unanimously adopted the proposal, thereby enabling the merger to proceed without further procedures.”
