Organisations sociétaires et droit du travail / Company Organizations and Labour Law

Ranc, Sébastien 25 October 2018 (has links)
Originellement, le droit du travail a fait prévaloir son autonomie à l’égard des organisations sociétaires, soit en les ignorant, soit en édictant ses propres règles. Cette autonomie s’est retournée contre le droit du travail lui-même, dans la mesure où ce dernier participe au renfort de la liberté de s’organiser, sur laquelle repose le fonctionnement des organisations sociétaires. Le constat est celui d’un échec : le droit du travail est aujourd’hui tributaire des organisations sociétaires. Toute idée d’autonomie doit être abandonnée. Le droit du travail ne peut plus faire abstraction des règles du droit des sociétés sur lesquelles reposent les organisations sociétaires. Il s’agit de passer d’une construction du droit du travail à côté des organisations sociétaires, à une construction à leurs côtés. L’objectif de cette méthode est d’assurer au droit du travail une meilleure effectivité lors de son application au sein des organisations sociétaires.La maîtrise du droit des sociétés a révélé un nouvel acteur en droit du travail, en l’occurrence l’associé dominant. D’un côté, le droit du travail tente de le responsabiliser, soit en l’insérant dans la relation de travail grâce au coemploi, soit en lui imputant de nouvelles obligations telles que l’ « obligation » de contribution au plan de sauvegarde de l’emploi ou l’obligation de vigilance. D’un autre côté, les liens entre l’associé dominant et les salariés doivent être repensés. La négociation collective ou la (re)découverte de lieux de rencontre avec cet associé permettraient de renforcer ce lien. / Labour law has a longstanding tradition of imposing its autonomy over corporate organizations by either ignoring them completely or by elaborating its own set of rules. This eventually backfired against labour law as it had the effect of strengthening corporate organizations’ freedom to organize. This has resulted in major failure for labour as it has become tributary to corporate organizations. All autonomist aspirations need to be abandoned. Labour law can no longer ignore corporate law regulations upon which corporate organizations are built. The idea is therefore to go from labour law being built beside corporate organizations to building labour law at their sides. The objective of such a methodological approach is to ensure that labour law becomes more effective than it is today when applied within corporate organizations.Mastering corporate law has revealed a new actor within labour law, the majority/dominant shareholder. On the one hand, labour law tries to make him/her/it liable, by either integrating him/her/it in the work relationship through co-employment schemes, or by resting further obligations on his/her/its shoulders such as the “duty” to contribute to the employment saving plan or such as the duty of vigilance. On the other hand, the links between the majority shareholder and the employees need to be rethought. Collective bargaining or (re)discovering spaces where workers and the majority shareholder can meet might strengthen that link.

Estudo comparado da disciplina da remuneração dos administradores de sociedades por ações no Brasil e Reino Unido e sua relação com a propriedade do capital

Vilar, Bruno Haack January 2013 (has links)
Este trabalho analisa a disciplina da remuneração dos administradores de sociedades por ações no direito brasileiro em cotejo com aquela do Reino Unido, sob a perspectiva da estrutura de propriedade do capital predominante em cada um desses países. Após um escorço histórico que ilustra o papel da sociedade por ações em mobilizar poupança popular, exploram-se os fatores que levaram à fragmentação da propriedade acionária no Reino Unido e analisa-se a ocorrência de tal fatores no Brasil. A seguir destacam-se as relações entre distribuição do capital (se concentrada ou dispersa) e administração societária, com especial ênfase a seus reflexos sobre a remuneração. Por fim investiga-se a disciplina da remuneração dos administradores de companhias no direito britânico e brasileiro, atentando-se para a adequação deste a um cenário em que sociedades de capital disperso passam a disputar espaço no mercado com sociedades de capital concentrado. Conclui-se que as mudanças pelas quais vem passando o mercado de capitais brasileiro nos últimos anos podem vir a exigir alterações no direito. / This thesis analyses the discipline of executive remuneration in Brazilian law as compared to that of British law and under the perspective of the prevailing capital ownership structure in each of these countries. After a brief historical illustration of the role of corporations in the mobilisation of public savings, the factors that produced the dispersion of shareholding in the United Kingdom are review and their occurrence in Brazil is analysed. The relationships between share ownership distribution (if concentrated or dispersed) and corporate governance are reviewed, with an emphasis on its effects over remuneration. Finally the discipline of executive remuneration in British and Brazilian law is investigated, considering the adequacy of the latter to a scenario in which dispersed capital companies share an space in market with concentrated capital companies. Conclusion is that the changes observed in the brazilian capital market in the last years may come to demand modifications in law.

Etude comparative de la cession de droits sociaux en droits français et chinois / A comparative study of sales of shares in French and in Chinese laws

Wu, Zhenyu 03 October 2018 (has links)
Les acheteurs des droits sociaux sont plus vulnérables que les acheteurs des autres objets, dans la mesure où ils sont plus susceptibles à payer un prix plus élevé que la valeur réelle et que les vendeurs possèdent une aptitude à abuser les actifs immatériels de la société cible après l’achat, principalement par une concurrence avec ladite société cible. La vulnérabilité des acheteurs des droits sociaux doit et peut être résolue par le biais de recourir à des mécanismes conventionnels librement développés par les acheteurs des droits sociaux, avec l’aide de la part de leurs avocats. Cependant, en droit français, la liberté contractuelle nécessaire pour la mise en œuvre des mécanismes conventionnels est limitée par l’intervention légale omniprésente, qui se manifestent principalement de deux façons : d’une part, un acheteur des droits sociaux insatisfaisant est capable d’accéder à la protection de plein droit, et ce même sans aucune clause conventionnelle destinée à ce sujet ; d’autre part, ils sont prohibés ou restreints à stipuler certains types de clauses conventionnelles pour cet objectif. Ainsi, le cœur des discussions entre les auteurs français concernant l’achat des droits sociaux est comment contourner les restrictions légales de la liberté contractuelle et comment tirer pleinement partie de la protection légale de plein droit des acheteurs des droits sociaux. Une comparaison entre le droit français et le droit chinois sur l’achat des droits sociaux montrerait que la préoccupation du droit français sur l’intervention légale ne serait peut-être pas nécessaire sur ce sujet, dans le fait que l’intervention légale est intrinsèquement incompatible avec les caractéristiques des droits sociaux est de lega ferenda doit être supprimée. Au lieu de cela, sur le sujet d’achat des droits sociaux, ce qu’il fallait discuter sont les multiples techniques conventionnelles développées dans l’objectif de résoudre la vulnérabilité inhérente des acheteurs des droits sociaux. De ce fait, une comparaison entre les techniques conventionnelles des deux pays serait donc effectuée. / Buyers of shares are more vulnerable than buyers of other objects to the extent that they are more prone to pay a price much higher than the “real” value; and that the sellers have an aptitude to usurp the intangible assets of the target company after the purchase, mainly through a competition with the said target company. The vulnerability of the buyers of shares should and is able to be solved by resorting to conventional mechanisms freely developed by the buyers and shares, with the help of their attorneys. However, under French law, the contractual liberty necessary for an effective implementation of the conventional mechanisms, is restricted by omnipresent legal interventions, mainly manifested in two ways: for one thing, an unsatisfactory buyer of shares is able to get protected de plein droit, even without any conventional clauses to this end. For another, they are prohibited or restricted to stipulate certain kinds of conventional clauses for the very purpose. Accordingly, the focus of French discussions when it comes to purchase of shares is on how to bypass the legal restrictions on the contractual liberty and how to make a full use of the legal protections of the buyers of shares de plein droit. A comparison of the French law with Chinese law concerning purchase of shares will show that the French concerns of the legal interventions when it comes to purchase of shares, might to some extent be unnecessary, in that the legal interventions are inherently incompatible with the originalities of shares and de lega ferenda should be abandoned. Instead, under the topic of purchase of shares, what should be discussed is the multiple conventional techniques developed aiming at solving the inherent vulnerability of the buyers of shares; and a comparison of the conventional techniques in the two countries will be accordingly conducted.

Corporate governance and the protection of minority shareholders in Hong Kong and China : a comparative perspective

Wong, Hang Shing January 2016 (has links)
The protection of minority shareholders is one of the important topics in company law. The two major oppression of minority shareholders are from the management and the majority shareholders. In this thesis, I seek to study the two oppression and the minority protection under the company law in Hong Kong and China. This thesis discusses: (i) Whether the Hong Kong common law system provides better protection to minority shareholders than is found in the Chinese civil law system? (ii) Whether the high degree of concentrated corporate ownership leads to the poor protection of minority shareholders in Hong Kong and China? (iii) What are the transplantation effects of foreign company laws on the protection of minority shareholders in Hong Kong and China? (iv) Whether the existing legal remedies to minority shareholders in Hong Kong and China are adequate? and (v) What are the problems of minority shareholders protection in Hong Kong and China? A comparative study of corporate governance and the protection of minority shareholders in Hong Kong and China is to identify the similarities and differences in the two systems for the purposes of legal reform. This thesis argues that mere adoption of Hong Kong common law system according to the legal origin theory could not improve corporate governance and minority shareholders protection in China; Chinese corporate governance and minority shareholders protection reform must include both legislative and structural aspects and these aspects are shaped by the initial paths according to the path dependence theory. This thesis argues that the high concentration of corporate ownership does not necessarily lead to poor legal protection of shareholders in Hong Kong, and the weak protection of minority shareholders in China is not due to its civil law origin but its structures relating to the rule of law principle. This thesis examines the theoretical debates between the legal origin theory and the path dependence theory and applies them to Hong Kong and China. This thesis contends that the basic company law has already achieved a high degree of uniformity in Hong Kong and China and the base of divergence between Hong Kong and China is in the structural and institutional differences. This thesis argues that the success of legal transplantation and minority protection in Hong Kong is dependent upon its initial structures which have been locked-in to the current structures. This thesis concludes that the issues of minority shareholders protection in China are in its socialist market economy, state intervening policy, public ownership, relation-based tradition, rule by law culture, corruption practices, dominant role of the CCP and non-independent judiciary; and the Chinese minority protection reform, in a broader sense, involves not only the legislative issue but also the structural issues which relate to the rule of law principle. This thesis proposes that the transplantation of foreign company law will not necessarily improve the protection of minority shareholders and hence the corporate governance in China. This thesis also confirms that direct transplantation of foreign law is not always suitable for countries with less developed structures. These findings are also relevant to other emerging economies and developing countries in understanding the limitations on the use of foreign law to improve corporate governance and the protection of minority shareholders.

Pre-incorporation contracts and the liability of the promoters

Boonzaier, Maryke Aletta 06 June 2011 (has links)
Company law legislation has recently undergone changes with the enactment of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. The purpose of this new piece of legislation is, inter alia, to encourage entrepreneurship and enterprise efficiency, to create flexibility and simplicity in the formation and maintenance of companies, and to provide for the creation, role and use of companies in a manner that enhances the economic welfare of South Africa. This Act was signed into law on 8 April 2009 and is said to come into operation during April 2011. The Act furthermore introduces an extensive and renewed approach to the regulation of pre-incorporation contracts in an attempt to address the shortcomings of previous and current legislation on this topic. This study explores the impact and effect that the new Act will have on the conclusion of pre-incorporation contracts, and also identifies the possible shortcomings of the Act. In order to determine what impact the new Act will have on pre-incorporation contracts, these contracts must first be placed in their historical context. This entails tracing the historical development of the common law rules relating to agency and ratification, and their impact on pre-incorporation contracts. Secondly this study attempts to determine whether the old and the current legislation regulating pre-incorporation contracts have been effective, and if so, to what extent. To establish this, the statutory arrangements that currently regulate pre-incorporation contracts require a grounded, solid and formulated basis, which is determined by an evaluation of the history of the different statutory sections on pre-incorporation contracts in these enactments. A significant part of this study will be devoted to the success, shortcomings and complications presented by the specific statutory arrangements. Fair consideration will be given to case law on these aspects. The South African courts have offered insight into the difficulties relating to the various statutory arrangements and explored alternative methods to supplement these statutory provisions. The advantages, disadvantages and legal consequences of these alternative methods are also discussed and analysed in this study. Concepts that are dealt with in this regard includes shelf companies, an agreement for the benefit of a third party (the stipulatio alteri), and where promoters act as principals. This study also reveals that these alternative methods present their own complications. The central theme of this study remains whether the new Companies Act provides adequate solutions to the problems that frequently arise from the conclusion of pre-incorporation contracts, and whether the shortcomings that exist in current and previous legislation have successfully been addressed by the new Act. To this end, the research reveals that section 21 of the new Act will succeed in equitably balancing the interests of third parties, companies and promoters, by providing clearly stipulated protection measures for all parties involved in the conclusion of pre-incorporation contracts. It has offered valuable improvements to previous statutes. The proposed reforms as introduced by section 21 are therefore welcomed. The mere fact that the South African legislature has now made a conscious attempt to create reform on this subject shows that it acknowledges that pre-incorporation contracts will continue to play an important role in commercial dealings. However, questions still arise on the future role of the statutory arrangements in light of the various alternative methods available to promoters. Academic opinions have also been divided with regards to the future role of pre-incorporation contracts within changing commercial environments. It is clear from the research presented in this study that pre-incorporation contracts have the potential to present a range of complex and challenging questions in practice. Therefore, this study seeks to provide sufficient guidelines to third parties and promoters who seek to acquire rights, duties, assets and benefits for a company prior to its incorporation, while protecting themselves against personal liability and associated litigation. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Private Law / unrestricted
