CONTESTING THE RESOLUTIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS BEFORE A COURT OF LAW IN POLAND

Bu makale, Polonyada şirket hissedarlarının kararlarını hukuki olarak gözden geçirme sistemini genel hatlarıyla ele almaktadır. Belli bir kararın hatalı olduğu durumlarda hukuk mahkemesinde açılabilecek iki tür davayı ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kanun hükümlerinin yol açtığı, uygulamadaki sorunların önemine gereğinden fazla değer vermek zordur. Buna en iyi örnek, Polonya Ticarî Şirketler Kanununda yer alan yalnızca birkaç hükme dayalı olarak ortaya çıkan büyük miktarda içtihat hukukudur. Bu konu, Polonya içtihadında da büyük yankı uyandırmıştır. Ancak, bu makale sadece birkaç konuya değinmektedir ve bunlardan en önemlisi hissedarların kararıyla işinden uzaklaştırılan bir şirket yöneticisinin bu karara itiraz edip edemeyeceğidir. Ayrıca, makale Ticarî Şirketler Kanununda açık bir şekilde ele alınmayan, hissedar kararlarına itiraz etme biçimleri ve denetim kurullarının kararlarına itiraz konularını da içermektedir.

Polonya’da Şirket Hissedarlarının Kararlarına Hukuk Mahkemelerinde Yapılan İtiraz

This article outlines the system of judicial revision of shareholders resolutions in Poland. It deals with two actions that may be brought before a court of law in the situation where a particular resolution is defective. The significance of practical problems caused by statutory provisions in this respect is difficult to overestimate. The best example is a large amount of case law which arose on the ground of just a few provisions of the Polish Code of Commercial Companies. This topic aroused much interest in the Polish jurisprudence as well. However, the article discusses just a few issues, the most important being that whether a company director removed from office by shareholders resolution has the right to contest that resolution. Also, the topics covered by the article include the ways of contesting shareholders resolutions that are not expressly dealt with in the Code of Commercial Companies and contesting the resolutions of supervisory boards.
