This book examines the role and potential of derivative actions in
shareholder protection in public limited companies. Derivative
actions have been a focal point of legislators' agendas on
shareholder protection, in the past few decades, throughout Europe
and beyond. Nevertheless, there remain jurisdictions, such as
Greece, which are still devoid of this remedy. Against this
backdrop, this book examines whether and how the derivative action
may improve shareholder protection, constituting thus a mechanism
that justifies legislative attention. It does so in three parts.
First, it analyses the desirable role derivative actions assume in
protecting shareholder property, monitoring corporate management
and mitigating agency costs, alongside their economic implications,
introducing the reader to the contemporary international debate on
the topic. Having set the desiderata, the second part proceeds with
the comparative analysis of Greek, German and UK law -
jurisdictions that have recently reformed their provisions on
shareholder protection - examining not only the law on derivative
actions and their Greek counterpart remedy but also mechanisms of
shareholder protection that do, or could, assume functions similar
to those of the derivative action. By critically assessing the
merits and failures of the respective UK, German and Greek
shareholder protection laws, the book then proceeds to offer (in
Part III) a model framework of shareholders' derivative litigation
for jurisdictions considering reform. Written in an accessible
format, it will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in
this important aspect of company law and corporate governance.
