Title 46, Chapter 3, Section 202
( 46-3-202)
No act of an electric membership corporation and no conveyance or
transfer of real or personal property to or by an electric
membership corporation shall be invalid by reason of the fact that
the electric membership corporation was without capacity or power to
do such act or to make or receive such conveyance or transfer; but
such lack of capacity or power may be asserted: (1) In an action by a member or director against the electric
membership corporation to enjoin the doing of any act or the
transfer of real or personal property by or to the electric
membership corporation, unless the plaintiff has assented to the
act or transfer in question or in bringing the action is acting in
collusion with officials of the electric membership corporation.
If the unauthorized act or transfer sought to be enjoined is being
or is to be performed or made pursuant to any contract to which
the electric membership corporation is a party, the court may, if
all the parties to the contract are parties to the action and if
it deems the same to be equitable, set aside and enjoin the
performance of such contract and in so doing may allow to the
electric membership corporation or to the other parties to the
contract, as the case may be, compensation for the loss or damage
sustained by either of them which may result from the action of
the court in setting aside and enjoining the performance of such
contracts; but anticipated profits to be derived from the
performance of the contract shall not be awarded by the court as a
loss or damage sustained; (2) In an action by the electric membership corporation, whether
acting directly or through a receiver, trustee, or other legal
representative or through members in a representative action,
against an incumbent or former officer or director of the electric
membership corporation for loss or damage due to his unauthorized
act; or (3) In an action by the Attorney General to dissolve the electric
membership corporation or in an action by the Attorney General to
enjoin the electric membership corporation from the transaction of
unauthorized business. |
