| 单词 | Member's personal action |
| 释义 | 成員的個人訴訟 The right of action of a member of a company against the company arising from a breach by the company of the member’s personal legal rights. For example, the statutory right of an individual member to take proceedings for misfeasance against directors and officers of the company in a winding-up: Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) 276(1). A member’s personal action may arise pursuant to an express contract between the member and other members or between the member and the company; or pursuant to a personal cause of action conferred by statute or general law; or to enforce the memorandum and articles of association as a statutory contract: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 6, Companies and Corporations [95.0375], [95.0379]. A member’s personal action is taken to obtain a rescission of his contract to take shares and rectification of the share register, together with a return of the money paid by him on the shares (Directors of the Venezuela Central Rly Co v Kisch (1867) LR 2 HL 99); or to restrain by way of injunction directors from acting ultra vires the company or in excess of their own powers or acting unfairly to the members (Simpson v Westminster Palace Hotel Co (1860) 8 HL Cas 712). See also Derivative action; Directors’ duties; Foss v Harbottle, rule in. 公司成員因為公司違反其個人法律權利而可向公司提起訴訟的權利。例如，在公司清盤時，個別成員有法定權利針對董事或高級人員的不法行為提起法律程序：《公司條例》（第32章）第276(1)條。成員的個人訴訟權利可藉該成員與其他成員間，或該成員與公司間的明示合約產生；或藉法例、一般法律賦予的個人訴訟因由而產生；或就章程大綱或章程細則作為法定合約強制執行而產生：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第6冊，公司與法團，第[95.0375], [95.0379]段。成員的個人訴訟乃為取得廢除其股份分配合約及更正股份登記冊，同時取回他已就股份支付的款額(Directors of the Venezuela Central Rly Co v Kisch (1867) LR 2 HL 99)；或以禁制令阻止董事作出超越公司、董事自己權力的行為或作出對成員不公平的行為(Simpson v Westminster Palace Hotel Co (1860) 8 HL Cas 712)。另見 Derivative action; Directors’ duties; Foss v Harbottle, rule in。 |
