By Royal Decree dated 27 April 2021, the Temporary Act COVID-19 Justice and Security (the "Temporary Act") was extended until 1 October 2021.

The following rules included in the Temporary Act are of practical importance for the corporate law practice:

  1. the management board of a private or public limited company can decide that the general meeting of shareholders will only be accessible by way of electronic means. For such virtual meeting additional requirements apply; and
