股东会决议效力的判断标准与判断原则

Judgment Criterions and Principles of the Effect of Shareholder Meeting Resolution

股东会决议是多个股东的抽象意思表示,是公司意志与决策的载体,如果股东会决议程序上或实质上的瑕疵将直接影响决议的效力。对决议效力瑕疵的救济,既是维护股东权益又是保障公司健康运营的需要。我国《公司法》虽然规定了股东会决议瑕疵诉讼制度,但对个别股东在股东会决议中的意思表示瑕疵,还须依据民法通则相关规定与原理对股东意思表示的效力进行认定,股东意思表示未生效将影响整个股东会决议的效力。此外,对决议效力的认定须在多项司法原则指引下进行个案裁量,平衡不同原则之间的冲突。

Shareholder meeting resolution is an abstract representation of shareholders, and the carrier of a company＇ s determinations and decisions. Resolutions with procedural or substantive defects can be declared invalid or be withdrawn by a court, which could protect the legitimate rights and interests of shareholders, and create a favorable legal environment for companiesj healthy operations. Article 22 of China~ ＂Company Law＂ regulates the litigation rules of defective shareholder meeting resolutions, but under the circumstances of defec- tive individual shareholder＇ s intentions, China＇ s ＂Civil Law＂ should also be considered to determine the effect of individual shareholder＇ s intentions, which will have influence on the effect of shareholder meeting resolutions. That＇ s to say, if an individual shareholder＇ s intention does not take effect, it might affect the va- lidity of the entire shareholder meeting resolution. In addition, the effect of the resolution should be identified with discretion under the guidance of a number of judicial principles in order to balance the conflicts between those principles.
