(1) The general meeting is to be convened if the proportion of the membership laid down in the articles of association or, in the absence of a provision, one-tenth of the members call in writing for a meeting to be convened, stating the purpose and the reasons.
(2) If the request is not granted, the local court may authorise the members who made the request to convene the meeting; it may make orders on the chairing of the meeting. The court with jurisdiction is the local court maintaining the register of associations for the district in which the association has its seat. The authorisation must be referred to in the notice convening the meeting.
