Abstract

ABSTRACT Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are important to most economies, but the laws of close corporation entities used by SMEs are underrepresented in comparative corporate law scholarship. This Article critically analyses ‘withdrawal’ regimes in Germany's GmbH (Austritt aus wichtigem Grund) and the UK's private company limited by shares (unfair prejudice remedy) that respond to shareholder conflicts in close corporations. Comparative analysis reveals how the two jurisdictions differ in treatment of ‘non-fault’ scenarios and their underlying visions of shareholder protection. Potential reform of the UK's withdrawal regime based on German and Singapore law is also explored.

封闭式公司股东退出:英德比较分析
中小企业(SMEs)对大多数经济体都很重要,但中小企业使用的密切公司实体的法律在比较公司法学术中代表性不足。本文批判性地分析了德国有限责任公司(奥地利股份有限公司)和英国私人股份有限公司(不公平偏见救济)应对封闭式公司股东冲突的“退出”制度。比较分析揭示了两个司法管辖区在处理“无过错”情景及其对股东保护的潜在愿景方面的差异。本文还探讨了基于德国和新加坡法律对英国脱欧制度进行改革的可能性。
