股东大会会议体制下的股东质询权——日本董事等说明义务制度的理论借鉴

On Shareholder's Inquiry Rights under the System of Shareholders' Meeting ——Theoretical Reference of Directors' Disclosure Duty from Japan

日本判例学说基于会议体制运营的一般原则,一直肯定董事等在股东大会上的说明义务,1981年更以立法形式将该义务明确,并在之后30年中进一步完善。相比之下,我国公司法虽以股东质询权的形式明确了董事等的说明义务,但忽略了其与股东大会会议体制之间的理论关系,这将导致很多具体问题难以合理解释和操作,鉴于此,有必要在今后的解释或立法中明确这项义务在股东大会会议体制中的定位。

According to case law of Japan,directors have duty of disclosure in shareholders＇ meeting.Such rules were specified by legislation in 1981 and have been improved in three decades as followed.However,under our country＇s company law,though the shareholder＇s inquiry right has been stipulated and directors have duty of disclosure,the theoretical relation between such duty and the system of shareholders＇ meeting has been neglected which led to difficulties for explaining and resolving particular issues.Therefore,it is necessary to specify directors＇ duty of closure in shareholders＇ meeting in future legislations or resort to corresponding interpretation of law.
