Dispens från de aktiebolagsrättsliga låneförbuden

Abstract

Ett aktiebolag får inte låna ut pengar till en person som är närstående till företaget, eller till en person som ska förvärva aktier i bolaget eller överordnat bolag i samma koncern. Det finns dock möjlighet att söka dispens från de aktiebolagsrättsliga låneförbuden. I denna artikel analyseras dispensförfarandet i detalj med stöd av en kartläggning av samtliga dispensärenden under fem år. Genomgången av myndighetspraxis visar av vem dispensmöjligheten utnyttjas och under vilka förutsättningar dispens medges, men också hur låneförbudens undantag tillämpas i praktiken, särskilt undantaget för kommersiella lån. Sammantaget visar studien att dispensmöjligheten troligtvis underutnyttjas.

Abstract

For the corporate business model to be successful, it is important to align the interests of those who control and finance the firm. Corporate law has here an important task to fulfill. It offers a legal framework that can facilitate parties to conclude mutually preferable agreements at low transaction costs. The purpose of this paper is to show how to design corporate law to fulfill this task and apply this knowledge to a Swedish case. A two-dimension model that simultaneously considers both the regulation intensity and the level of default of corporate law is presented. The earlier literature treats these dimensions separately. By adding a transaction cost perspective to our model, we assess different regulatory techniques and examine how the Swedish legislation can be amended to help corporations by offering a standard contract that lowers the transaction costs of contracting. This can be achieved if default rules or standards of opt-out character are combined with other regulatory techniques with lower transaction costs such as opt-in alternatives and menus. We also show how our model can be used in other studies as a tool to analyze the design of legal rules.

Abstract

I artikeln presenteras en rättsfallskartläggning över bolagsrättsliga domar vid Högsta domstolen eller hovrätterna i under 2013-2017. Studien visar bland annat att oaktat var du bor i Sverige är det lika stor sannolikhet för en aktiebolagsrättslig tvist, att talan i drygt hälften av målen riktas mot styrelseledamöter och att så mycket som en tredjedel av rättsfallen handlar om bolagsledningens personliga betalningsansvar. Studien ger också anledning att diskutera förekomsten och nyttan av empiriskt material inom rättsvetenskapen.

Abstract

Ever since its foundation more than 60 years ago, the European Union has been very important to the welfare and prosperity in Europe. For example, according to one estimate Sweden has almost doubled its trade and increased its growth by 3-20 percent since its membership in 1995. Apart from the promotion of peace, this is mainly due to the opening up of the common market with around 500 million people and the successive implementation of the freedom of movement for goods, services, capital and people.

Even so, in the areas of social and labour market policies some Member States have had severe problems, with low labour market participation and high unemployment levels, especially among the young and immigrants. This is an area where the European Union only has been conferred shared and coordinating competences, and hitherto this area primarily has been regulated through soft-law where the EU has developed non-binding strategies through the social dialogue.

This however could be about to change, as a solution to the problems the Union is facing the European Union has proclaimed its fourth pillar, The European Pillar of Social Rights.

In this report, we investigate the potential short- and long-term consequences of the social pillar on the welfare and prosperity of Europe. Moreover, we discuss its potential effects on the legitimacy of the European Union, as well as an alternative way forward, namely institutional competition as the method to improve efficiency and innovation along with voter satisfaction in Europe.
