Abstract

Predmet ovog rada je odgovornost članova uprave dioničkog društva za štetu prema društvu, dioničarima i vjerovnicima. U uvodnom dijelu rada obrađuje se pažnja koju članovi uprave dioničkog društva moraju posvetiti vođenju poslova društva. Potom se analizira pravilo poslovne prosudbe (business judgement rule), kojim se isključuje sudska kontrola nad postupcima članova uprave ako su se pridržavali načela pravne prosudbe. Dalje se razmatraju situacije u kojima članovi uprave snose odgovornost za štetu. Također, raspravlja se pitanje je li odgovornost solidarna za sve članove uprave ili isključivo za one koji su prekršili svoje obveze. U nastavku se analizira pravo društva na naknadu štete, kao i slučajevi kada dioničari mogu podnijeti takav zahtjev.
Posebna pažnja posvećena je pravnoj naravi zahtjeva vjerovnika prema članovima uprave. Ovaj zahtjev detaljno se razmatra, uključujući što vjerovnik može tražiti od člana uprave, koje pretpostavke moraju biti ispunjene, tko nosi teret dokaza o njihovom ispunjenju te kako unutarnji odnosi u društvu utječu na odgovornost članova uprave. Nadalje, razmatra se odgovornost članova uprave u kontekstu povezanih društava, pripajanja i spajanja društava. Posebno poglavlje posvećeno je utjecaju stečaja na mogućnost vjerovnika da ostvare svoja prava, kao i odgovornosti članova uprave koji nisu pravovremeno podnijeli prijedlog za otvaranje stečajnog postupka.
Zaključno, rad obrađuje odgovornost osoba koje su zloupotrijebile svoj utjecaj u društvu, kao i onih koji su sudjelovali u takvim postupcima.

Abstract (english)

The subject of this paper is the responsibility of the members of the board of the joint-stock company for damage to the company, shareholders and creditors. The introductory part of the paper deals with the attention that the members of the board of the joint-stock company must devote to managing the company's affairs. The business judgment rule is then analyzed, which excludes judicial control over the actions of the board members if they have followed the principles of legal judgment. Situations in which board members are liable for damage are further considered. Also, the question of whether responsibility is joint and several for all members of the board or exclusively for those who violated their obligations is being discussed. The company's right to compensation for damages is analyzed below, as well as the cases when shareholders can file such a claim.
Special attention is paid to the legal nature of the creditors' demands against the members of the board. This requirement is considered in detail, including what the creditor can ask from the board member, what assumptions must be met, who bears the burden of proof of their fulfillment and how internal relations in the company affect the responsibility of board members. Furthermore, the responsibility of the board members in the context of affiliated companies, mergers and acquisitions of companies is considered. A special chapter is devoted to the impact of bankruptcy on the ability of creditors to exercise their rights, as well as the responsibilities of board members who did not timely submit a proposal for opening bankruptcy proceedings.
In conclusion, the paper deals with the responsibility of persons who abused their influence in society, as well as those who participated in such actions.
