  • Liability of Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director-A Scandinavian Perspective
    Liability of Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director-A Scandinavian Perspective PROFESSOR ROLF DOTEVALL* I. Introduction In Scandinavian countries, questions concerning the liability of the company manage- ment have attracted great interest in recent years. Due to several highly publicized financial scandals that took place in the early 1990s in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, these coun- tries extensively revised their Companies Acts during that period. In general, the amend- ments made to the Companies Acts involved modifications to management's obligations. Also, on several occasions over the past ten to fifteen years, Scandinavian courts have issued rulings concerning board member and managing director liability. The Companies Acts in the Scandinavian countries are similar, but not identical. They differ in how they treat private versus public business forms. The private form aims at regulating relationships in companies conducting business with few partners, in which the shares are not publicly traded. Conversely, a public company is a company whose shares may be traded on the stock exchange. For example, in Sweden, both private and public companies are regulated in the Companies Act (Aktiebolagslagen). In contrast, Denmark and Norway have various legislation schemes for each different company form. Under this construct, the Public Companies Act consists of mandatory rules whereas the private companies do not. However, under Swedish company law, the private form is subject to mandatory rules.' The objective of this article is to consider certain questions regarding the board of di- rectors' and the managing director's liability to the company under Scandinavian law. *Professor Rolf Dotevall is Professor in Commercial Law, Department of Law, School of Economics and Commercial Law, G6teborg University.

  • I Godt Selskap? Statlig Eierstyring I Teori Og Praksis
    Rapport 1998:21 I godt selskap? Statlig eierstyring i teori og praksis Forord Den norske staten eier flere store og mindre selskaper. Selskapene driver ulike former for forretnings- eller næringsvirksomhet, men mange av dem ivaretar også viktige samfunnsmessige oppgaver innen ulike sektorer. Flere tidligere forvaltningsorganer er blitt omstilt til selskaper de siste årene, og andre kan bli endret. Departementene er ansvarlige for å utøve eierstyringen av selskapene og har en viktig rolle i omdanning fra forvaltningsorgan til selskap. I Norge har vi imidlertid flere ulike statlige selskapsformer: statsaksjeselskaper, statsforetak og selskaper som er organisert etter egen lov - særlovsselskaper. Statens ansvar som eier er i utgangspunktet noe forskjellig, avhengig av hvilken selskapsform som er valgt. Selskapsformen skal også avspeile i hvilken grad selskapets virksomhet skal ivareta viktige samfunnsmessige oppgaver eller om det i hovedsak skal drive forretning. Det er derfor viktig med mer kunnskap om likheter og forskjeller mellom selskapsformene og om mulige konsekvenser av valg av selskapsform. Statskonsult har satt i gang flere prosjekter for å kunne øke kunnskapen om endringer av forvaltningsorganer til selskaper og om organiseringen og styringen av selskapene. Formålet med dette er å kunne bidra i utviklingen av forvaltningspolitikken og å bistå departementene med råd i forbindelse med eventuelle omstillinger av virksomheter. Rapporten baserer seg på kartlegging og analyse av 19 heleide statlige selskaper og to selskaper der staten eier mer enn 50 %. Dette utgjør alle statsforetak og særlovsselskapene, unntatt fond, samt de fleste heleide statlige aksjeselskapene. Statskonsult skal benytte resultatene til sitt arbeid med utvikling av forvaltningen. Men vi håper at departementer, statlige selskaper og andre virksomheter kan ha nytte av rapporten i forbindelse med omstillinger og i utøvelsen av eierstyringen.

  • The Emergence of the Corporate Form
    JLEO, V33 N2 193 The Emergence of the Corporate Form Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jleo/article-abstract/33/2/193/3089484 by Universiteit van Amsterdam user on 07 October 2018 University of Amsterdam Oscar Gelderblom Utrecht University Joost Jonker Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam Enrico C. Perotti University of Amsterdam and CEPR We describe how, during the 17th century, the business corporation gradually emerged in response to the need to lock in long-term capital to profit from trade opportunities with Asia. Since contractual commitments to lock in capital were not fully enforceable in partnerships, this evolution required a legal innovation, essentially granting the corporation a property right over capital. Locked-in cap- ital exposed investors to a significant loss of control, and could only emerge where and when political institutions limited the risk of expropriation. The Dutch East India Company (VOC, chartered in 1602) benefited from the restrained executive power of the Dutch Republic and was the first business corporation with permanent capital. The English East India Company (EIC, chartered in 1600) kept the traditional cycle of liquidation and refinancing until, in 1657, Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci gratefully acknowledges the financial support by the Netherland Organization for Scientific Research (NWO VIDI grant 016.075.332) and the Becker-Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago (BFI Fellowship winter 2012).
