There are basically two ways in which law imposes liability on presidents. Firstly sections 1101-1104 and 1902 of the Civil Code impose civil liabilities on presidents. Secondly, under criminal law, presidents face personal liability for offences. For instance, where they misappropriate commonhold’s funds.

The administrator is obligated to exercise a level of care, as is reasonable in all the circumstances, to avoid harm to the commonhold. In accordance with section 1.726 of the Civil Code administrators could be liable not only for deceit or malice but for his negligence which shall be estimated by the courts with more or less severity depending on whether the administrator was or not remunerated.
