有限责任公司股东查阅权的限制边界

On the Limiting Boundary of Shareholders’ Access Rights of Limited Liability Companies

《最高人民法院关于适用〈中华人民共和国公司法〉若干问题的规定(四)》第9条明确禁止对公司股东查阅文件权利的“实质性剥夺”,而章程、股东间协议在公司治理中发挥着重要作用。基于股东查阅权具备共益权特性和其为股东之固有权利,不容剥夺亦不容放弃,可结合域外相关立法经验,根据我国有限责任公司现实,合理界定股东查阅权的限制边界。

Article 9 of Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (4) issued by the Supreme People’s Court explicitly prohibits the “substantial deprivation” of the rights of the company’s shareholders to access the documents.Regulations and agreements between shareholders play important role in the corporate governance.This paper makes an analysis of the characteristics of common interest right for shareholders’ access rights which prove to be the essential right for shareholders and are not allowed to be deprived or given up.The limiting boundary of shareholders’ access rights can be reasonably defined according to the relevant legislation experience outside China and also the reality of Chinese limited liability companies.
