Workshop 2019: Mandatory and Default Regulation in Company Law
Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, 29 March 2019, 9.30 a.m.
General topics for discussion:
- How do you determine whether a rule is default or mandatory in your legal system?
- Is there a difference between rules affecting third parties and rules with effect only between the members?
- Does academic discourse / do judicial decisions on the issue reflect on the function of company law or of the specific rule when deciding whether it is mandatory?
- Who checks if a derogation is possible?
- Is there a difference between private / public ltd. companies? What about partnerships?
- Has the approach become more liberal / more restrictive over the last years? What are the reasons for such a development (if any)?
- Have Corporate Governance Codes taken over the role of default law lately?
- If / where company law is mandatory, can the parties find contractual solutions in areas not explicitly regulated by company law?
- Can you avoid mandatory rules via shareholders’ agreement? Is this done in practice?
Specific topics:
- Mandatory law in transferability of shares in a private limited company
- Mandatory or default rules on the appointment of directors
