撤銷股東會決議訴訟與商業事件審理新制

Actions for Revoking Resolutions of the Shareholders Meeting and the Trial Procedure of the Commercial Court

股份有限公司股東會決議召集程序或決議方法，違反法令或章程時，股東得自決議之日起30日內起訴請求法院撤銷，促使法院就撤銷股東會決議訴訟有效率審理，且為正確判決，應是撤銷股東會決議訴訟法制規範目標。本文介紹說明撤銷股東會決議訴訟法制之沿革，並分析撤銷股東會決議訴訟之適格原告、被告與其他相關訴訟程序之問題，並就撤銷股東會決議訴訟爭議問題加以研析，最後說明在商業事件審理新制下，撤銷股東會決議訴訟可能運作方式與引起之爭議，本文認基於當事人就撤銷股東會決議訴訟之標的並無處分權限，且撤銷股東會決議訴訟判決之形成力不能以當事人合意成立調解代之，撤銷股東會決議訴訟不應進行強制調解前置；就商業事件審理新制中商業調查官與專家證人制度，可協助法院有效率審理，但法院應揭露商業調查官報告內容，使當事人得以充分辯論。在審理時程部分，本文認商業法院就撤銷股東會決議訴訟辦案期限，應比照公職人員選舉罷免訴訟，縮短審理時程，落實設立商業法院之立法本旨。

"While the procedure for convening a shareholders’meeting or the method of adopting resolutions thereat is in contrary to any law, regulation or the company’s Articles of Incorporation, a shareholder may, within 30 days from the date of adoption of the said resolution, file a petition to the court for rescinding such a resolution. It should be the goal of the relevant law to make the court efficiently enter correct judgments on the litigation of revoking the resolutions of the shareholders meeting. This article introduces the evolution of the law governing the revocation of the resolution of the shareholders meeting, analyzes the disputes between the plaintiff and the defendant and other procedural and substantive issues regarding the standing for bringing the action for revocation. This paper also discusses the issues of the grieving shareholder’s action for revoking the resolution of the shareholders meeting. This article contends that because the parties do not have the authority to dispose of the subject matter of the action for resolution, and because that the revocability of the resolution can not be settled by the agreement of parties, a compulsory mechanism of pretrial mediations are not appropriate. The newly established mechanism of commercial investigation officers and expert witnesses in the trial of commercial cases should be able to facilitate an efficient trial, but the court should disclose the commercial investigation officer’s report to the parties to give it fully examined during trial. With regard to the trial timeline, this article contends that the commercial court should expedite the trial for actions of the revocation of the resolution of the shareholders meeting as the expedited preceding under the Civil Servant Election and Recall Act in order to fully implement the legislative intent of establishing a commercial court."
