Harmful Error

Nevada Classified Sch. Emp. Ass'n v. Quaglia - "In this appeal, we consider whether a corporate bylaw is invalid when it contravenes the voting requirements of the corporation's articles of incorporation. We conclude that a corporation's bylaw is void to the extent that it is inconsistent with the corporation's articles of incorporation. Based upon this conclusion, we next consider whether an amendment to the bylaws is likewise invalid when it is adopted under the invalid bylaw's voting procedure. We conclude that the amendment, adopted under a void bylaw's required procedure, is also invalid. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order refusing to grant a preliminary injunction based upon the invalid amendment and also affirm its order granting declaratory relief to the opposing party."

Loomis v. Whitehead - "In this appeal, we address whether NRS 602.070 bars the partners of an unregistered fictitious name partnership from bringing an action arising out of a business agreement that was not made under the fictitious name. NRS 602.070 prohibits persons who fail to file an assumed or fictitious name certificate from suing on any contract or agreement made under the assumed or fictitious name. We conclude that NRS 602.070 does not bar the partners from bringing the action so long as the partners did not conduct the business or enter into an agreement under the fictitious name or otherwise mislead the other party into thinking that he was doing business with some entity other than the partners themselves."
