A inovação financeira, caracterizada pela criação de novas estruturas e instrumentos jurídicos e financeiros nas últimas décadas, impactam os tradicionais conceitos do direito societário e a própria interpretação das normas vigentes. Assim, a partir do estudo das acepções e funções exercidas pelo capital social, buscou-se confrontá-lo com instrumentos criados para obtenção de recursos para as companhias bem como com alternativas para a proteção dos credores. O presente trabalho explora o tema buscando de início identificar a origem das formas associativas e o precedente histórico da companhia aberta para, em seguida, adentrar na disciplina jurídica do capital social, suas características e propósitos. Então, por fim, trata-se, em capítulos apartados, da securitização de créditos, da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e do patrimônio de afetação, procedendo-se a uma comparação com o instituto do capital social, sem concentração específica na disciplina desses instrumentos. / Financial innovation, characterized by the development of new structures and legal and financial instruments in the past decades, impacts the traditional concepts of corporate law, as well as the interpretation of existing legislation. Starting from an analysis of the different meanings and functions of the legal capital of companies, it was sought to specifically examine this concept in light of mechanisms devised for the funding of companies and for the protection of creditors. This paper analyzes the matters seeking, initially, to identify the forms of association and the historical background of the publicly¬-held company in order to then analyze the rules pertaining to the legal capital, with its characteristics and purposes. Last, we examine, in separate chapters, of credit securitization, of the lifting of the corporate veil, and of the segregated capital, comparing each of these concepts with that of the legal capital, instead of focusing on the specific legal rules pertaining to such concepts.

De nombreuses fonctions cellulaires essentielles telles que la traduction, l'épissage, la biogenèse des ribosomes et la réplication des télomères font appels aux particules RNP non codantes. La biogenèse de ces dernières chez les eucaryotes est un processus très complexes qui fait intervenir de nombreux facteurs cellulaires. La biogenèse du ribosome nécessite au moins 150 facteurs. Ceux-ci sont importants pour faciliter mais également contrôler la biogenèse de cette machinerie cellulaire essentielle qu'est le ribosome. Parmi ces facteurs, nous avons les snoRNP à boîtes C/D. Ces RNP sont impliqués dans la maturation des pré-ARNr (méthylation post-transcriptionnelle des riboses et clivages endonucléolytiques). Récemment notre laboratoire a participé à la découverte de facteurs d'assemblage de ces RNP. Il s'agit entre autre des protéines Rsa1p, du complexe R2TP (Rvb1p, Rvb2p, Tah1p et Pih1p) et de Hit1p chez la levure Saccharomyces cerevisiae. En utilisant une approche de co-expression à haut débit, nos travaux ont révélé un réseau complexe d'interactions entre les protéines constitutives des snoRNP et leurs facteurs d'assemblage. Couplé à une stratégie de protéolyse ménagée, la co-expression nous a permis d'obtenir des sous-complexes protéiques Snu13p/Rsa1p et Rsa1p/Hit1p qui font actuellement l'objet d'une étude structurale par RMN. En collaboration avec l'équipe de F. Allain (ETH Zurich), nous avons également déterminé la structure tridimensionnelle de la protéine Tah1p, ainsi que de son complexe avec le peptide C-terminale de la protéine chaperonne Hsp90 à haute résolution. Ces travaux ont révélé un mode d'association particulier entre le domaine TPR de la protéine et le peptide / A lot of essential cellular functions like translation, splicing, ribosome biogenesis and telomere replication need the activity of non coding RNPs. The biogenesis of non coding RNPs in eukaryotes is a complex pathway involving numerous cellular factors. For instance, ribosome biogenesis requires more than 150 factors. They are important to facilitate and to control the biogenesis of this essential cellular machinery. These factors include the C/D box snoRNPs. These RNPs are involved in pre-rRNA maturation (post-transcriptional ribose methylation and endo-nucleolytic cleavages). Recently, our laboratory participated to the discovery of snoRNP assembly factors: the Rsa1p protein, R2TP complex (Rvb1p, Rvb2p, Tah1p and Pih1p) and Hit1p in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using a high throughput co-expression approach, we deciphered a network of interactions between RNP core proteins and the assembly factors. Coupled with a limited proteolysis strategy, the co-expression method allowed us to obtain proteins sub-complexes Snu13p/Rsa1p and Rsa1p/Hit1p which are currently studied by NMR. In collaboration with the F. Allain team (ETH Zurich), we also determined the tridimensional structure of protein Tah1p and its complex with the chaperon Hsp90 C-terminal peptide at high resolution. The data obtained reveal a particular mode of association of the Tah1p TPR domain with the Hsp90 peptide

The study of grounds of civil liability in Brazilian Law together with the principle of assets autonomy of the legal entity and the purpose of limited liability confirm that the national law does not admit to relativize the rule of limited liability, except in cases of fraud and abuse of the legal entity. Given this limitation, resulting from a systematic analysis of the Brazilian Law, and in order to offer a proposition of fair coexistence between the interests of creditors and encouragement of free enterprise provided by limited liability, which is a constitutional command, it proves the importance of the mechanisms of control of assets of the corporation through its financial statements. In this sense, if assets and rights of a legal entity are intended to fulfill a specific purpose, it is for the Law to provide suitable tool to ensure that the risks inherent in the developed activity are covered exclusively by these assets and rights. This tool is accounting, which through the financial statements it produces, it records and controls assets of the entity, providing conditions for decision-making. Its proper use can (and should) prevent intrinsic adversities of any activity subject to risks. The purpose is to resume the mechanism that allows the existence of limited liability, since this doctrine/established principle is not intended to curtail the guarantee of creditors, but rather to encourage those who seek to produce and circulate assets and services to society through the organized economic activity / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar que a proteção dos credores da pessoa jurídica que admite a responsabilidade limitada deve se concentrar no controle do uso e disposição do patrimônio da própria pessoa jurídica. O estudo da responsabilidade civil no Direito brasileiro, associado ao estudo da autonomia patrimonial da pessoa jurídica e da finalidade da limitação da responsabilidade confirmam que o ordenamento nacional não admite a relativização da regra de responsabilidade limitada, exceto nos casos de fraude e de abuso da personalidade jurídica. Em vista dessa limitação, constatação decorrente de uma análise sistemática do Direito pátrio, e com o intuito de oferecer uma proposição de convivência justa entre os interesses dos credores e o estímulo à livre-iniciativa proporcionado pela responsabilidade limitada, que é comando constitucional, comprova-se a importância dos mecanismos de controle do patrimônio da pessoa jurídica, por meio de suas demonstrações financeiras. Nesse sentido, se bens e direitos de uma pessoa jurídica são destinados ao cumprimento de uma finalidade específica, cabe ao Direito fornecer ferramenta adequada para assegurar que os riscos inerentes à atividade desenvolvida sejam cobertos exclusivamente por estes bens e direitos. Essa ferramenta é a contabilidade, que por meio das demonstrações financeiras que produz, registra e controla o patrimônio da entidade, dando condições à tomada de decisões. Seu uso adequado pode (e deve) prevenir as adversidades intrínsecas a qualquer atividade sujeita a riscos. O intuito é de retomar o mecanismo que permite a existência da responsabilidade limitada, dado que este instituto não tem por objetivo cercear a garantia dos credores, mas sim estimular aqueles que buscam, por meio do exercício de atividade econômica organizada, produzir e fazer circular bens e serviços para a sociedade

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcos Andrey de Sousa.pdf: 1978174 bytes, checksum: 512ba7d9b756c9f2c321b0c70e29ad0a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-08 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This dissertation defends the delimitation of the applicable norm to rule the judicial constriction of private limited company share, having in mind the advent of the 2002 Civil Code, the Civil Procedure Code reforms ruled by Law number 11.382/2006, and the bankruptcy laws in force. This subject is relevant because it faces institutions which are important to the socio-economic society: the limited company, which is the most used societary type in this country; the business activity, with the social interests that surround it; and the trust recovery, which is supported nowadays by fundamental rights concerning actual jurisdictional guardianship. This subject choice is due to the criticism made by the distinguished doctrine arguing about the harm that bankruptcy can cause on business activity, reaching inherent social interests, not to mention the procedural hindrances in attaining the obligee s satisfaction. Furthermore, foreign legislations, which inspired the national ones, offer dedicated and specific solutions to companies comprised by people with unlimited responsibility, and to limited companies, showing the impropriety of supplementarily applying on them the simple society rules. This defence is supported by the invocation of principles to determine the normative meanings, to avoid antinomies and to delimitate the application of the most appropriate normative position. This work is developed through research of doctrine and legislations, both national and foreign, using descriptive language on the analysis of legislations, and prescriptive language to build up the defended position / Esta tese defende a delimitação da norma aplicável para reger a constrição judicial da cota de sociedade empresária limitada, tendo em vista o advento do Código Civil de 2002, as reformas do Código de Processo Civil ditadas pela Lei 11.382/2006 e as legislações falimentares vigentes. O tema é relevante porque enfrenta institutos importantes para a comunidade sócio-econômica: a sociedade limitada, que é o tipo societário mais utilizado no país; a atividade empresarial, com os interesses sociais que em torno dela gravitam; e a recuperação do crédito, hoje amparada por direitos fundamentais à tutela jurisdicional efetiva. A justificativa da escolha do tema decorre das críticas de abalizada doutrina argüindo os malefícios que a liquidação da cota pode provocar na atividade empresarial, atingindo os interesses sociais inerentes, além dos entraves procedimentais para a satisfação do credor. Ademais, as legislações estrangeiras, que inspiraram a nacional, apresentam soluções diferenciadas e específicas para as sociedades de pessoas com responsabilidade ilimitada e para a sociedade limitada, demonstrando a impropriedade de se aplicar supletivamente a esta as regras da sociedade simples que regem o tema. A defesa ampara-se na invocação de princípios para determinar os significados normativos, evitar antinomias e delimitar a aplicação da normativa que mais se coadune com os seus fins. O trabalho é desenvolvido através de pesquisa de doutrina e legislações, nacionais e estrangeiras, utilizando de linguagem descritiva, na análise das legislações e prescritiva para a construção da posição defendida

To this end, based on a broad conceptual framework of the proposed theme, our study was divided into three parts. Firstly, we present the core elements for the subsequent confrontation of the proposed problematic: the concepts of limited company and of social capital; the characteristics of the shares, a will that will be transferred from the assignor to the assignee; the legal transaction of the assignment of shares; the purchase price of shares; and the concept of hidden liabilities. Secondly, we approach the institutes provided by law that may possibly support the liability of the assignor’s liability by the hidden liabilities. In this perspective, we address the interpretation of Article 1,003, sole paragraph of the Brazilian Civil Code: the institutes of error, fraud and injury; the redhibitory defects; the possibility of annulment of the legal transaction; and the analogical application of Article 1,146 of the Brazilian Civil Code to the assignment of shares. Finally, in the last part, we address the contractual practices applied to characterize or even to prevent the assignor’s liability by the hidden liabilities. We approach the due diligence of the representations and warranties clauses included in the share assignment contract, as well as of the clauses included in the share assignment contract that deal expressly with the transferor's liability by the hidden liabilities / A presente dissertação de mestrado versa sobre a responsabilidade do cedente de quotas de sociedade limitada em função de passivos não contabilizados (ocultos) verificados na sociedade limitada após a aquisição de quotas pelo cessionário. Para esse fim, apoiados em ampla bibliografia sobre o tema proposto, o estudo foi dividido em três partes. Na primeira, apresentamos os elementos fundamentais para o posterior enfrentamento da problemática proposta: os conceitos de sociedade limitada e de capital social; as características das quotas, bem que será transferido do cedente ao cessionário; o negócio jurídico de transferência das quotas; o preço de aquisição das quotas; e o conceito de passivo oculto. Na segunda parte, expomos os institutos previstos em lei que eventualmente possam embasar a responsabilidade do cedente pelo passivo oculto. Nesse sentido, abordamos a interpretação do parágrafo único do art. 1.003 do Código Civil: os institutos do erro, dolo e lesão; os vícios redibitórios; a possibilidade de anulação do negócio jurídico; e a aplicação analógica do art. 1.146 do Código Civil à cessão de quotas. Finalmente, na última parte, tratamos de práticas contratuais utilizadas para caracterizar ou mesmo prevenir a responsabilidade do cedente pelo passivo oculto. No caso, abordamos a due diligence das cláusulas de representations and warranties inseridas em contratos de cessão de quotas, assim como das próprias cláusulas inseridas em contratos de cessão de quotas que tratam, expressamente, da responsabilidade do cedente pelo passivo oculto
