Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / Work
French term or phrase: au nombre des existantes
This is about a contract and here the text is saying that heirs should be represented by just one of them for any decision to be taken as the company will only recognise one of them. That is what came before, then this: Chaque part sociale donne droit à une fraction des bénéfices et de l'actif sociale proportionellement au nombre existantes. Does 'existantes' refer to the shares? TYI.

disagree  Tony M: 'des existantes' indicated that this is a noun here, standing in for 'parts existantes' so no error!
