公司发起人的认定标准:为形式标准辩护

The Standard to Identify Corporate Promoters:Fight for the Criterion of Registration

公司发起人的认定标准有形式标准与实质标准之争。基于一些原因,如实质标准缺乏可行的衡量基准,不能使权利义务保持一致,与设立中的公司发起人和发起人合伙之间的关系不协调,并且无法由受信义务得出实质标准可行等,实质标准在我国法上并不具有可行性。我国《公司法》就发起人的认定标准采纳的是形式标准,具有务实、灵活、高效的优点,且能与商法注重维护的保护商事交易安全的理念相一致,故此有坚守这一标准的必要。

There has been a long theoretical debate about the de facto standard and the criterion of registration. Based upon some critical reasons, such as the measurement problem, the inconsistency between according rights and duties, the incompatible relationship between corporate promoters and partners in a partnership, the inability of deduction from fiduciary duties, , the de facto standard is not appropriate to be legislatively adopted in China. Actually, from a normative analysis, it is the criterion of registration that has been adopted in Chinese Company Act, which is comparatively practical, flexible and efficient to application. In addition, the criterion of registration is compatible with the idea of protection of transaction security in commercial law.
