Daryo Nov 20, 2013:
the whole sentence is needed, otherwise there's too much guessing.
Germaine Nov 20, 2013:
Nathalie, Le début de la phrase serait utile pour caser l'expression qui correspondrait le mieux à "be liable to be avoided". Je comprends que la Sté a le droit de conclure des contrats avec un administrateur. Ça mènerait à qlqe chose comme ...n'est pas tenue d'écarter de tels contrats... il ne lui est tenu rigueur de... Difficile à dire sans le début.

en s'en tenant rigoureusement à la question; mais compte tenu du début de la phrase, il faut comprendre que la société n'est pas tenue de renoncer à ce genre de contrat.

conflict of interest

there is a standard clause (with many variations) containing this term, about the potential conflict of interest if a director holds several positions, and what is tolerated or not:


A director
- may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the directors may resolve
and
--- no director or intending director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company as vendor, purchaser or otherwise,

--- nor shall any such contract, or any contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any director is in any way interested, be liable to be avoided,

--- nor shall any director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established.
