公司对外担保效力的实务解读

Practical Analysis on A Company' Effect of Guarantee

《担保法解释》暗含禁止公司为股东与个人债务提供担保之意。在中福实业公司担保案中最高人民法院的思路是:股东会决议通过的公司为公司股东债务提供担保有效。在幸福实业担保案中最高人民法院的立场是:公司股东会决议通过的公司为公司股东债务提供担保也一律无效。最高人民法院在公司对外担保效力问题的立场有些含混。

The Interpretation of the Guarantee Law implies that any company is prohibited to offer a guarantee for shareholders or individuals' liabilities.In the case involving in Zhongfu Industrial Company's guarantee,the Supreme People's Court showed such a clue: if the Shareholders' Meeting agrees to offer a guarantee for shareholders' liabilities,then such a guarantee is valid. However,in the case involving in Xingfu Industrial Company's guarantee,the Supreme Court gave an adverse standpoint:no guarantee offered for shareholders' liabilities is valid,even though such a guarantee is decided by the Shareholder's Meeting. In this way,the Supreme Court shows a confused position on a company's effect of guarantee.
