Independent trade or business

(1) If the spouse who manages the common matrimonial property has consented to the other spouse operating an independent trade or business, then their approval of such legal transactions and legal disputes as the business operations entail is not required. Unilateral legal transactions which relate to the trade or business are to be entered into with the spouse who operates the trade or business.

(2) If the spouse who manages the common matrimonial property knows that the other spouse is operating a trade or business, and if they have filed no objection to this, this is equivalent to consent.

(3) Against third parties, an objection and the revocation of the consent are effective only under section 1412.
