3) La posizione di unico quotista di una società a responsabilità limitata (nel regime anteriore all'entrata in vigore del d.lg. n. 88 del 1993, che ha modificato il testo originario del capoverso dell'art. 2497 c.c.) espone costui al rischio di dover rispondere di persona ed illimitatamente per le obbligazioni sociali nate nel periodo in cui egli si è trovato in tale situazione, se la società is insolvent, but this does not entitle the trustee in bankruptcy of that company to act in the interests of the masses, in order to enforce the liability of the sole member indicated. Its action, in fact, like those arising from the analogous provisions of art. 2362 cc in the case of the sole shareholder of a corporation, not one of the actions that originally could carry the company failed, and therefore compete to the Editor, but is given separately and individually to each individual creditor, entitled to exercise in relation to an individual (sole shareholder or shareholder) who has not been declared personally bankrupt and whose responsibility for social obligations unfulfilled, joins the company's failure, without this he identifies with the company.

La Corte ha negato la violazione del principio of equality, judging it "clearly erroneous" and identified a clear difference between registered companies and irregular or occult society in particular in the provisions of the Civil Code regarding personal liability of a shareholder for the obligations of the partnership, which may be enforced against creditors only the events recorded regularly prescribe as Articles. 2193 and 2200 cc, unless these have been equally aware.

Failure to register is to be a choice the same members, that by doing so conceal their capacity as owners, limiting the protection of third parties who come into contact with them.

Moreover, they expose themselves to that risk voluntarily
