The Abuse of Rights in Corporate Relations
Abstract
This article discusses the problem of abuse of law in corporate relations, which is mainly related to the lack of effective private legal means of protection against unfair conduct by the participants of the corporation. It is stated that the rights of shareholders are increasingly exposed to various kinds of violations and, as a result, an increasing number of economic entities are involved in corporate conflicts. It is indicated that the activities of the joint-stock company depend on how honestly its members perform the responsibilities for financial and economic matters. Approaches in doctrine and in legislation to the concept of abuse of law are analyzed. A comparative legal analysis of this concept was carried out under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Examples of judicial practice on corporate disputes are given in which courts have characterized actions of participants in corporate relations as abuse of law. It is noted that there are difficulties in applying Article 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in practice, since for the recognition of the action of abuse of right it is necessary to prove that this action is aimed solely at causing harm to another person.
