On The Mechanism Of Protection Of Minority Shareholders' Rights

The majority-capital-decide principal is legally accepted worldwide by modern corporation law system. However, it leads to the fact that the interest of small and middle shareholders could be ignored or harmed by big shareholders. It is evident that this is a very example of covering the unfairness of rights under a "fair shareholding"system. For those middle and small shareholders, the purpose of investment of a company does not only lies in making profits. They would like to focus more on company's operation and decisions. This however, is not well protected by our modern law system. How to protect the small and middle shareholders becomes an urgent task to our corporation law system within a long period. This thesis would like to, with the coming publication of new corporation law, discuss about the system of how to protect small and middle shareholders'interest. This thesis will extend from the analysis of company's shareholders'interest, and the comparison of protection of small, middle and big shareholders'interest in corporation law, taking some examples of company's real operations, in order to seek a effective way of improving the protection of small and middle shareholders in our corporation law system.
