Abstract:
Проаналізовано підходи до вирішення окремих корпоративних спорів у судовій практиці.
Авторами наголошено, що саме під час вирішення спорів у судовому порядку формулюються
підходи для їх врегулювання. За результатами вивчення практики розгляду Верховним Судом
справ щодо корпоративних спорів, корпоративних прав та цінних паперів за 2021 р. зроблено
висновок, що проблемними питаннями судового вирішення корпоративних спорів є їх
юрисдикційність, належний спосіб захисту прав учасників корпоративних відносин, докази у
корпоративному спорі та позовна давність у таких справах. Наприкінці статті зроблено висновок,
що судова практика, яка зараз створюється Верховним Судом, здебільшого є сталою,
обґрунтованою та послідовною, що сприяє забезпеченню єдності правових позицій з
врегулювання корпоративних спорів.
Description:
The article is devoted to the analysis of approaches to the resolution of individual corporate
disputes in judicial practice. The article emphasizes that it is during the resolution of disputes in court that
approaches to their settlement are formulated. According to the results of the study of the practice of the
Supreme Court’s consideration of cases regarding corporate disputes, corporate rights and securities for
2021, it was concluded that the problematic issues of judicial resolution of corporate disputes are their
jurisdiction, the proper way to protect the rights of participants in corporate relations, evidence in a corporate
dispute and the statute of limitations in such matters. Having analyzed the relevant resolutions of the Grand
Chamber of the Supreme Court, it was noted that the main criteria for demarcating the judicial jurisdiction of
corporate disputes are the subject of the dispute and the nature of disputed material legal relations in their
totality, at the same time, such a criterion can also be a direct indication in the law of the type of judicial
proceedings in which a certain category of cases is considered. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, it is
indicated that the proper way of protection in corporate disputes in the event of a dispute regarding the rights
to a share in the authorized capital of a limited liability company is a claim for illegal possession of a share in
the authorized capital of an limited liability company, and in the event of a dispute regarding composition of
members of the limited liability company – determination of the size of the company’s authorized capital
and the size of the shares of the members of the company.
The article briefly describes judicial practice regarding evidence in corporate disputes, in
particular, the application of expert opinion and witness testimony. The opinion is expressed that the
position of the Cassation Economic Court of the Supreme Court regarding the impossibility of using a
special statute of limitations by analogy with the law to other participants in economic relations, except
for those for which it is clearly enshrined in the legislation, is balanced and justified. At the end of the
article, it has been concluded that the judicial practice currently created by the Supreme Court is mostly
stable, well-founded and consistent, which contributes to ensuring the unity of legal positions on the
settlement of corporate disputes.
