摘要
规模扩张使得公司逐渐成为具有广泛社会影响力、拥有强大经济权力的社会实体,存在对相关利益者造成不利影响的潜在风险。公司所有权与控制权分离加剧了公司权力的集中化,公司实际上被少数内部人员掌控的现实引发了对公司决策权力结构的正当性质疑,也间接动摇了公司制度的正当性基础。公司法应当积极回应上述正当性质疑,其主要回应方式是促进小股东参与股东会议、行使股东权利,强调公司归属于股东。故而,股东在公司治理中的角色不是纯粹的商业演进结果,而是法政策的选择,不应仅以效率价值或仅以能否回应商业实践评价小股东参会行权。为了更好地在公司领域解决民主与效率的价值冲突,需要改进股东参会行权法律制度。可能的改进途径包括:保障股东的发言权与质询权、明确主持人保障会议程序公正的职权、增加会议程序显失公正之效力瑕疵事由。
Scale expansion has gradually made the company a social entity with extensive social influence and strong economic power,and there is a potential risk of adverse effects on relevant stakeholders.The separation of corporate ownership and control intensifies the centralization of corporate power,and the fact that companies are actually controlled by a small number of insiders raises questions about the legitimacy of the company's decision-making power structure,and indirectly shakes the legitimacy foundation of the corporate system.The Company Law should actively respond to the above-mentioned legitimacy challenges,and its main response is to promote minority shareholders'participation in shareholders'meetings,exercise shareholders'rights,and emphasize that the company belongs to shareholders.Therefore,the role of shareholders in corporate governance is not purely the result of business evolution,but the choice of law and policy,and should not only evaluate the exercise of minority shareholders'participation in the meeting based on efficiency value or only whether it can respond to business practices.In order to better resolve the conflict between the values of democracy and efficiency in the corporate sphere,it is necessary to improve the legal system for the exercise of shareholders'participation in meetings.Possible ways of improvement include protecting shareholders'right to speak and question,clarifying the authority of the presiding officer to ensure the fairness of the meeting procedure,and increasing the reasons for the defective effect of the meeting procedure that is obviously unfair.
