公司决议纠纷诉讼实证研究
摘 要
公司决议纠纷是指基于股份有限公司或者有限责任公司的股东(大)会或董事会决议是否违反法律、行政法规或公司章程而产生的纠纷。对19省、直辖市的基层、中级和高级法院的143件股东会或董事会决议纠纷的判决统计后,笔者发现:有限责任公司比股份公司更容易发生公司决议纠纷;在公司决议纠纷中,股东会决议纠纷占了76%以上;请求宣告股东会决议无效又是公司决议纠纷诉讼中原告最常提起诉讼请求。虽然我国法院在大多数情况下倾向于对该类案件只做形式性审查,谨慎介入公司治理。但是,笔者发现,进行实质性审查在公司决议纠纷案件的审理中也不少见。此外,笔者发现,法院经常对涉及公司决议的法条进行解释。因此,如果我们能够全面推行案例指导制度,那么公司决议纠纷案件的审判标准可能会趋于一致,从而提高我国法院审理公司决议纠纷案件的水平。
文章的第一部分讨论了公司自治与司法介入之间的矛盾;第二部分是对股东会或董事会决议相关法律框架的厘清;第三部分是案例的统计数据和主要发现;第四部分是笔者归纳总结的我国法院审理公司决议纠纷的态度和倾向;第五部分是对审判中法院如何解释公司法第22条进行的梳理和分析;文章的最后一部分对全文进行了总结,笔者提出了当前这类案件审判存在的问题,并就如何更好地发挥司法对公司治理的作用提出了自己的看法。

ABSTRACT
EMPIRICAL STUDY ON THE LITIGATIONS
TOWARD COMPANIE DECISIONS
ABSTRACT
Company decision disputes refer to the disputes arising with regard to decisions of Shareholders Meeting or Board of Directors in case that such decisions are in violation of law, administrative regulations or the articles and memorandum of the company in the course of company governance. By statistics on disputes with regard to decisions of Shareholders Meeting or Board of Directors in 143 cases from 19 Provinces or Municipalities in People’s Basic-level Courts, Intermediate Courts or Supreme Courts, it is found by the author that such disputes are related to Limited Companies in most cases. In company decisions disputes, the disputes of decisions of Shareholder Meeting accounts for more than 76% and petitions to avoid the decisions of Shareholders Meeting are the most common pledge by the plaintiff in such company decisions disputes. Although the People’s Courts are inclined to make formality examination and are prudent to intervene in the internal affairs of the company, there are also a number of cases in which the People’s Courts carry out substantive examination. In addition, though the People’s Courts seldom make concrete interpretation to legal provisions in such company decisions disputes, it is found that the whole article of 22 of Company Law has been interpreted by the People’s Courts in separate verdicts. Thus if a Guiding Case Mechanism can be established in China, the adjudication criteria for such company decisions disputes will be convergent and the adjudication level will be enhanced accordingly. The initial part of this paper outlines the contradictions between corporate governance and judicial intervention in the corporation governance; the second part illustrates all the legal provisions concerning decisions of Shareholders Meeting or Board of Directors; the third part is about survey information as well the maid findings by such survey; the fourth part
