Choosing the right procedure for shareholder disputes in 2024
There are various types of procedures for shareholder disputes. How do you choose the most appropriate procedure to protect a shareholder’s rights?
The lecturer will discuss in detail the various aspects of these procedures. What are the pros and cons, and where do the procedures overlap? In particular, he will discuss inquiry proceedings and the proposed new legislation on dispute resolution. He will also discuss several relevant judgments on due diligence obligations towards minority shareholders. What is the scope of the due diligence obligations under Article 2:8 of the Dutch Civil Code? The lecturer will apply legal doctrine and recent insights in case law to specific cases.
After the course, you will have an understanding of the various procedures, the impact of proposed new legislation and key judgments on the duty of care.
