French term or phrase: assemblée à forme constitutive
Could anyone explain me what is meant by this??

Il est de même des assemblées à forme constitutive, c'est à dire celles appelées à délibérer sur l'approbation d'un apport en nature ou l'octroi d'un avantage particulier.

English translation:incorporation types of meetings
Explanation:
I suggest "types of" in the translation because of "à forme" and "c'est à dire..." in the ST - the authors are specifying a general type of meeting (almost made up, if you will), and then explaining more precisely what they mean.

neutral  Maria Constant (X): it would appear from your link that constituent assembly is used to draft and adopt consitutions which is not the case here.

neutral  Sylvia Smith: but the definition you give is for countries forming govt. constitutions, not companies approving contributions-in-kind and special privliges?

constitutive meeting


Explanation:
I have taken this article from the articles of association of a Russian company

Article 9. Founding of Company

1. The creation of a company by means of founding shall be effectuated by decision of the founder(s). The decision concerning the founding of a company shall be adopted by the constitutive meeting. In the event of the founding of a company by one person, the decision concerning the founding thereof shall be adopted by this person alone.

Hope this helps !!!!
