How many proxies can one person hold at a general assembly?

Belgian law limits the number of proxies a representative can receive at a general assembly.

Federal rule — applies throughout Belgium

In Belgium, the Civil Code sets strict rules concerning proxies at co-ownership general assemblies.

Main rule: No one may accept more than three voting proxies. The total votes held by the representative (including their own) may not exceed 10% of the total votes.

In practice:

  • The proxy must be in writing and state the representative’s name
  • The syndic checks validity before the GA opens
  • A proxy without a named representative is void
  • The representative may not vote differently from instructions given
