股東會股東權現代化之建構──由民間公司法全盤修正委員會修法建議出發

Modernization of Shareholder’s Rights and the Shareholders’ Meeting

目前實務上股東權保障不足，股東會亂象叢生，民間委員會修法建議新制重點就股東會而言：修正增進股東參與股東會之權利，強化資訊揭露義務，給股東更多知的權利，減少不必要之程序限制並緩和股東與董事會間之衝突；針對公開發行與非公開發行公司之不同實務需求，區分適用規範；適度放寬法律制度強制規定，允許公司章程自治，由公司彈性選擇。就股東權而言：除了調整股東查閱權行使之要件、查閱之標的範圍，並新增股東聲請法院命公司合法提供資訊之救濟制度；並合理化股東提起代位訴訟之門檻與提訴股東之責任。也期待政府能大刀闊斧改革股東會亂象，並使得新制能落實股東權保障與提升公司治理
