§ 15a:3-2.

No act of a corporation and no conveyance or transfer of real or personal property

to or by a corporation shall be invalid because the corporation was without capacity

or power to do that act or to make or receive the conveyance or transfer, but the

lack of capacity or power may be asserted: a. In a proceeding by a member or trustee against the corporation to enjoin the doing

of any act or the transfer of real or personal property by or to the corporation. If the unauthorized act or transfer sought to be enjoined is or is to be performed

or made pursuant to any contract to which the corporation is a party, the court may,

if all of the parties to the contract are parties to the proceeding and if it deems

the same to be equitable, set aside and enjoin the performance of the contract, and

in so doing may allow to the corporation or to the other parties to the contract,

as the case may be, compensation for the loss or damage sustained by either of them

which may result from the action of the court in setting aside and enjoining the performance

of the contract, but anticipated profits to be derived from the performance of the

contract shall not be awarded by the court as a loss or damage sustained; b. In a proceeding by the corporation, whether acting directly or through a receiver,

trustee, or other legal representative, or through members in a representative suit,

against the incumbent or former officers or trustees of the corporation; c. In a proceeding by the Attorney General, as provided in this act, to dissolve the

corporation, or in a proceeding by the Attorney General to enjoin the corporation

from the transaction of unauthorized activities.
