CONCEPT, FEATURES AND TYPES OF CORPORATE DISPUTES

Section "Law": Legal Regulation of Economic Relations in Specific Areas and Sectors of the Economy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the legal nature of corporate disputes, the study of their criteria and types. Deficiencies in cur rent definition of corporate dispute in the economic procedural legislation, as well as the lack of a single concept of corporate dispute in the legal doctrine are revealed. As a result, the problem of understanding the essence of corporate dispute and determining the jurisdiction of disputes arising from corporate relations remains crucial. It is concluded that a corporate dispute is a dispute between a legal entity of corporate type and its participant (foun der, shareholder, member), including a participant who left, related to the acquisition, exercise, termination of corporate rights, creation of a legal entity, implementation of corporate management, activity and termination of the legal entity. It is proposed to consolidate this definition of corporate dispute in paragraph 3 of part 1 of Art. 20 of the Economic Procedural Code of Ukraine. The key features of the corporate disputes are determined and characterized: content; special subject composition; grounds and circumstance in proof; plurality and exclusive nature of remedies in such disputes. It is established that the content of corporate dispute is corporate relations, which the legislation currently defines only through corporate rights. The necessity of complex understanding of corporate relations is substantiated and it is proposed to consider them in part 3 of Art. 167 of the Economic Code of Ukraine as relations related to the acquisition, exercise, termination of corporate rights, creation of a legal entity, implementation of corporate management, activity and termination of a legal entity. Based on the analysis of the features of corporate disputes, research of scientific approaches and relevant case law, the classification of such disputes is carried out. In particular, corporate disputes are proposed to be classified according to subjective, substantive criteria, as well as on the grounds of their occurrence. It is established a list of disputes that belong to corporate and distinguished them from related disputes. In order to resolve the problem of jurisdiction of disputes arising from corporate relations, it is proposed to enshrine in part 1 of Art. 20 of the Economic Procedural Code of Ukraine list of corporate disputes.
