Reform IDF485
DescriptionEarlier, if an obligation required by law to be in writing, the company had to execute a written contract signed by a director or authorized officer with the seal affixed; for obligations not required in writing, the company could enter into an oral agreement under implied authority. These obligations have now been removed for unlisted companies, leaving the matter to be decided as per the articles of association.
