Regarding this topic, the jurisprudence in Colombia has been changing adopting two opposite positions. The prevailing thesis is that conciliation is not a procedural requirement since the nullity and ineffectiveness of corporate decisions are not conciliable matters because they are matters that the parties cannot dispose of, considering that public order is involved.

However, it should not be ignored that the nullity can be ratified by the parties (article 1742 of the Civil Code) and the occurrence of the causes of ineffectiveness can be agreed upon by the parties (article 133 of Law 446 of 1998).

Therefore, the authors opinion in this article, these are matters subject to conciliation and preliminary conciliation should be fulfilled.
