Bibliographie sélective OHADA

The Uniform Act relating to the law of commercial companies and of economic interest groups contains numerous references to the concept of act, without the legislator being able to specify its meaning. This legislative silence is the pretext for the doctrine to give this notion several perceptions, without any of them being able to give its full dimension in isolation. Beyond this polysemy, it is revealed through the notion of act, a plurality of purposes that the legislator intends to assign to it in company law, by making it an instrument at the service of the partners and third parties. In relations between partners, the concept of act ensures an objective of regulating relations when the legislator requires, both in the phases of incorporation and of the functioning of the company, that the acts be coated with the seal of authenticity and that they are carried out according to the required standards. The OHADA legislator also invokes the concept of acts when it comes to ensuring the third party who comes to deal with the company or its members the protection of his interests. From this point of view, the prerequisite required for such an act to achieve this objective is compliance with certain conditions. Otherwise, when we analyze the regime for the resumption of acts performed during the period constituting the commercial company and certain situations, we are reinforced in this idea of protection assigned to the concept of act.
