»On the Chairperson of the Shareholders’ Meeting under German Stock Corporation Law (with References to the Law on Limited Liability Companies)« The thesis analyses the legal position of the chairperson of the shareholders’ meeting within a German stock corporation. It finds that the chairperson is not merely a »functional assistant« of the shareholders’ meeting, but rather an independent organ of the stock corporation. The thesis then examines all legal questions concerning the chairperson, including the legal basis for measures taken at the meeting, the consequences of improperly chairing a shareholders’ meeting, and the liability of the chairperson.weiterlesen
