On the limitation of the liability of the cooperative members
Abstract
This paper addresses the study of the regulation of liability of cooperative partners within the framework of the current legislation. It analyses the main problems of interpretation that arise from the proliferation of laws for each Autonomous Community and the lack of standardized treatment. The author contrasts his thesis on the limited liability of partners with a selection of our Courts case law.
