2005年公司法修正時增訂第192條之1，引進董事候選人提名制度，持股百分之一以上的股東可提名董事候選人。然而，近年來卻陸續發生幾件董事候選人提名程序爭議，有若干公司董事會以各種理由將少數股東所提名的董事候選人由候選名單中剔除。換句話說，董事候選人提名的法律規定已成為現任董事對付競爭者的武器。有鑑於此，經濟部於公司法修正草案中提案修正第192條之1，該修正草案經立法院三讀通過後，於2018年8月1日公布、同年11月1日施行。然而，修正後的公司法第192條之1能否解決這些爭議？本文擬對於實務上發生爭議之案例事實加以整理，歸納爭議發生的原因，並評估修正後的公司法第192條之1能否解決目前實務所發生的爭議。此外，本文亦就董事候選人提名程序之相關司法裁判加以整理與分析，並評釋各裁判之判準且提供本文意見。
