独立董事制度为上市公司必建的制度,然而独立董事所承担的法律责任却常被人们忽视,我国对此在法律规制上也比较欠缺。我们对英美独立董事承担责任的种类、承担责任的限制和我国目前公司法律对独立董事法律责任的规范作了研究,对规范我国独立董事的责任,完善我国独立董事法律责任的法律规制提出了建议。 The system of independent directors is a system to be established by listed companies. However, the legal responsibilities assumed by independent directors are often neglected. Our country is also lack of legal regulation. We study the types of liability borne by the Anglo-American independent directors, the limitation of the liability and the current norms of the company in our country, and make recommendations on the legal norms of regulating the independent directors’ responsibility in our country and perfecting the legal liability of our independent directors .
