There is no objection to reducing or increasing a company's capital if there is no transgression or negligence on the part of the body that made the decision, and if it is necessitated by the interest, because these bodies act on behalf of the shareholders and are authorized to dispose of such matters. The permissibility of the action depends on the extent of the bodies' right to make decisions, and recourse can be sought from the competent authorities in the event of an error or manipulation.
