Here’s an update on the statutes …
1. What happened before
-
Iteration -3: with the help of the lawyer we integrated some of the clauses from the statutes of Cohousing Ilôt De Spiegel, mostly on the so-called “Mark hacks” for financial safety that were missing.
-
Iteration -2 (file name “Axel’s version”): Axel went through the statutes from the first until the last sentences, and remedied countless inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
-
Iteration -1 (file name "pre-final 26-07-2025): I went through Axel’s comments and solved everything that I could solve myself.
“Iteration -1” is the version that was sent to the lawyer in August. It is now saved in the same Coral Reef > Statutes folder with as a file name “01-10-2025 lawyer”. What she did is accept all tracked changes from Iteration -1, and introduced some minor tracked changes and comments in the new version.

2. The last outstanding things that need to be done
- Signature of the PVs (5.18) => needs a small edit (in correct French) to say that PVs need to be signed by everybody.
-
Budget:
-
Defined in Lexique => does it need a more elaborate definition here, or do we agree that the minutes from agenda point no 8 from the GA of 23/08/2025 include the necessary detail, including a reference to the entire Excel sheet?
-
To be noted that in the Exposé Préalable: the budget is still defined as 3500 euro / m² => this needs a check to see whether it is in alignment with agenda point 9 on the maximum price discussed at the same GA.
-
For reference (no action needed): the article that says it requires an 83% majority to increase the budget by more than 10% is now Article 5.17.
-
-
Apport financier and apport global (art. 7.7 and 7.9): this is about how to split the incoming bills and probably needs an update if not a correction.
-
Blocked account** (art 7.11): this seems to be a never-ending story. We’ll need some language here that will keep us out of trouble, and I don’t think we’re there yet (see also Société simple: three party agreement)
-
Richard’s comment about the société simple selling property rights: I couldn’t find it, but if it’s still there, it needs to be removed.
-
The paperwork**:
- The lawyer created a “convention de cessation de salaire”: we need to look into this and see what we need to do with this.
- Idem for the Annexe 1: I saved a draft in the Statutes folder named “Registre des Associés et Ménages”, but it needs some further work.
Way forward
Other than points 1 and 2 I would like to ask @coral-board whehter there is one or two people who are willing to take over the finalisation of this undertaking. Points 3-6 all related to banking, calculus and paperwork, none of which are my fortes, and I am also just running on a low battery for the moment, so would be grateful for some support. Let’s discuss at the meeting next week?
