关联公司人格混同法律规则的完善

Perfection of Judicial Rules for the Association of Affiliated Companies

关联公司人格混同并没有明确的法律依据,法院多类比适用《公司法》第20条的规定。实践中存在关联公司人格混同司法认定困难,证明责任分配混乱,法律依据援引做法不统一等问题。实践中法官在认定关联公司的人格混同时,虽然都会从财务、业务、人员混同三个方面进行综合考虑,但适用结果却存在很大的不确定性。为了解决司法适用结果不确定问题,应该在实践中确立关联公司人格混同司法认定的基本准则、明晰关联公司承担连带责任的结果要件,并在《公司法》修改时增加关联公司以及关联公司人格混同责任承担的相关规定。
