本文以论述追究董事对公司的责任时,以日本法律上的问题点为目的。1993年的《日本商法典》修改了股东追究董事对公司责任的股东代表诉讼制度,该改革实行后,特别是对大型公众公司董事追究责任的诉讼不断增加。本文通过对案例的分析和研究指出了现行日本法律制度的诸多问题:(1)分析董事对公司应负责任的原因(尤其是对经营判断的错误和违反监视及监督义务等成为问题时);(2)作为董事对公司应负责任的人员范围(是否包括高级管理人员的问题);以及(3)董事负责任时的赔偿金额等问题。
This article aims to address the issue of Japan’s legal issues when discussing the directors’ responsibility to the company. The 1993 Japanese Commercial Code amends the shareholders ’representative action system that shareholders hold accountable for their directors’ responsibility towards the company. After the implementation of the reform, the number of litigations, especially those held by directors of large public companies, has been steadily increasing. This article points out the many problems of the current Japanese legal system through analyzing and studying the cases: (1) analyzing the reasons why the directors are responsible to the company (especially when making mistakes in business judgment and violating the monitoring and supervision obligations, etc.); (2) the range of persons who are responsible for the company as directors (including the issue of senior management); and (3) the amount of compensation for directors when they are responsible.
