El mandato y responsabilidad del gerente general en las sociedades anónimas
The mandate and liability of the general manager of a corporation

Summary/Abstract: The obligations that a general manager is assuming when beginning his mandate in a corporation and his liability for breaching or overstepping his competencies are the main focus of this article. The authors make a very precise presentation of this issue within the Chilean legal system, drawing the attention upon the problems referring to the key position of a general manager inside a corporation and on the relevant legal provisions to be applied such as norms of labor law and commercial law. Furthermore, the article tackles the issues of electing the general manager, the conditionality imposed by the legal provisions concerning the various types of relations that the general manager has with the company on the one hand and with the board of directors on the other hand. All together the article wishes to propose systematization, although the authors are calling it a rather rudimentary attempt, of the Chilean legal norms regulating the legal responsibility of the general manager of a corporation.
