关于公司瑕疵决议的法律效力分析

An Analysis of the Legal Validity of Defective Corporate Resolutions

摘要: 中小股东利益冲突，是公司法核心问题，同时也是公司治理中主要的规范对象。股东的公平感、安全感与获得感更是资本市场法治化和法治化营商环境的核心指标。公司决议是公司自治的起点，是股东之间利益博弈的重要体现。其效力不仅涉及公司内部自治问题，还关系到股东、董监高等公司内部人员的权利保护，更与外部债权人利益息息相关。公司决议效力之诉在公司监督中是不可或缺的环节，也是股东制衡经营层、少数股东制衡多数股东权利滥用的重要手段。2023年新修订的公司法从多个方面进一步完善了少数股东权益保护制度，公司决议效力规则便是其中的重要抓手之一。结合审判实践对公司决议效力纠纷规则进行梳理、提炼和总结，在此我们所探讨的主要问题是公司瑕疵决议的效力问题。我国现行的法律关于瑕疵如何界定，对于司法实践中如何适用较为模糊，本文进行简要分析。

Abstract: Conflicts of interest involving minority shareholders are a core issue in corporate law and a primary object of regulation in corporate governance. Shareholders’ sense of fairness, security, and gain is also a core indicator of the rule of law in the capital market and of a law-based business environment. Corporate resolutions are the starting point of corporate autonomy and an important manifestation of interest bargaining among shareholders. Their validity not only concerns internal corporate autonomy, but also relates to the protection of the rights of shareholders, directors, supervisors, and senior managers within the company; it is also closely connected with the interests of external creditors. Actions challenging the validity of corporate resolutions are an indispensable component of corporate oversight and an important means by which shareholders check management and minority shareholders check the abuse of rights by majority shareholders. China’s newly revised Company Law of 2023 further improves the mechanisms for protecting the rights and interests of minority shareholders in several respects, with the rules governing the validity of corporate resolutions serving as one of its key instruments. Drawing on judicial practice, this article reviews, distills, and summarizes the rules governing disputes over the validity of corporate resolutions. The primary issue examined here is the validity of defective corporate resolutions. Under current Chinese law, how defects should be defined and how the relevant rules should be applied in judicial practice remain relatively ambiguous. This article provides a brief analysis.
