论公司中小股东知情权的法律保护—以张国平与苏州通博电子器械有限公司股东知情权纠纷为例摘要在现代公司的经营管理中,公司的所有权与决策权往往相分离,公司的经营管理活动基本由大股东控制，中小股东并不直接参与公司的经营和管理事务。基于资本多数决原则，大股东往往对获取公司的经营决策等信息有着天然的优势，而信息不对称却一直困扰着中小股东，也就是中小股东的知情权普遍得不到合理的保障。围绕上述问题，本文分为五个部分，沿着基本思路“案例介绍——概念描述——分析问题——解决问题”开展研究。第一部分司法案例介绍，并指出案情的争议焦点。第二部分介绍了该理论的基本内容，包括如何认定股东知情权、股东知情权及其相关特征、股东知情权所涵盖的内容。第三部分从案例分析，事实条件分析等方面探讨了中小股东的概念，并明确指出中小股东知情权的保护是法律规定的，而我国现行法规对此均有概述。最后指出我国对股东知情权的保护的不足之处。第四部分通过对英国、美国、德国、日本相关法律制度的研究，比较各国（中小）股东知情权制度，发掘我国股东知情权保护制度现存之不足，此处的改进和建议对下文的研究具有一定的指导、启发作用。第五部分是股东权益的法律保护的声明。强调一些可以采取的保护中小股东的措施。包括对股东知情权范围的扩大、完善中小股东行使知情权的相关程序、完善法律救济制度，并且引入检查人选任制度，使中小股东能尽可能充分、真正地实现知情权。关键词：中小股东知情权；法律保护现状；制度完善Onthelegalprotectionofminorityshareholders'righttoknow--TakeforexamplethedisputebetweenZhangGuopingandtheshareholders'righttoknowofSuzhouTongboElectronicEquipmentCo.LtdAbstractIntheoperationandmanagementofmoderncompanies,theownershipanddecision-makingrightsofthecompanyareoftenseparated.Theoperationandmanagementactivitiesofthecompanyarebasicallycontrolledbythemajorshareholders.Basedontheprincipleofmajorityofcapital,majorshareholdersoftenhavenaturaladvantagesinobtaininginformationsuchasthecompany'soperatingdecisions,butinformationasymmetryhasalwaystroubledsmallandmedium-sizedshareholders,thatis,therighttoknowofsmallandmedium-sizedshareholdersgenerallycannotbereasonablyguaranteed.Centeringontheaboveproblems,thispaperisdividedintofiveparts,andcarriesoutresearchalongthebasicideaof"caseintroduction--conceptdescription--problemanalysis--problemsolving".Thefirstpartintroducesthejudicialcase,andpointsoutthecontroversialfocusofthecase.Thesecondpartintroducesthebasiccontentofthetheory,includinghowtoidentifyshareholders'righttoknow,shareholders'righttoknowanditsrelatedcharacteristics,andthecontentscoveredbyshareholders'righttoknow.Thethirdpartdiscussestheconceptofminorityshareholdersfromtheaspectsofcaseanalysis,factualconditionanalysisandsoon,andclearlypointsoutthattheprotectionofminorityshareholders'righttoknowisstipulatedbylaw,andChina'scurrentlawsandregulationshaveoutlinedthis.Italsopointsouttheinadequacyoftheprotectionofshareholders'righttoknowinChina.Thefourthpart,throughthestudyoftherelevantlegalsystemsoftheUnitedKingdom,theUnitedStates,GermanyandJapan,comparesthesystemsoftherighttoknowofthe(smallandmedium)shareholdersindifferentcountries,andexplorestheexistingdeficienciesoftheprotectionsystemoftherighttoknowoftheshareholdersinChina.Theimprovementandsuggestionsherehavecertainguidingandenlighteningeffectsonthefollowingresearch.Thefifthpartisthestatementofthelegalprotectionofshareholders'rightsandinterests.Emphasizesomemeasuresthatcanbetakentoprotectminorityshareholders.Itincludestheexpansionofthescopeofshareholders'righttoknow,theimprovementoftherelevantprocedu...
