英国公司法
英国公司法（Company Law）第一章注册公司的法律特征Company Law: Fundamental Principles, （2nd ed.） Stephen Griffin LLB, PITMAN Publishing, 1996THE LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A REGISTERED COMPANY本章主要讲述了注册公司的基本法律特征及其发展的历史。
公司在一定意义上可以被看作是一个虚构的实体，它只不过是其管理者和员工按照团体模式经营的一种方式或手段。
依照大陆法系的分类，这种观点似乎可以被看作是法人拟制说。
但是在法律上，按照公司法的规定注册的公司，这种虚构的本质在这种程度上被忽视了，从公司成立之日起，它就是一个公司实体。
正因为如此，注册公司是一个独立的法律主体，它像一个自然人那样享有权利和承担义务。
这是公司的第一个重要的特征。
除此之外，大量的公司都具有有限责任的特点。
公司的有限责任分为股份的有限和保证的有限。
（除有特别说明，本书将主要讲股份的有限。
）有限责任是指公司股东一旦（以股票的名义价值）完全出资认购了所持有的股份，他就不再对公司的债务承担任何责任。
公司的成立导致了公司和其股东地位的分离。
因此，公司的存在不再依赖于其成员的存在于否。
成立这样一个公司最大的好处是股东的有限责任，但最大的缺点是商业隐私的缺失。
与合伙不同，注册公司必须满足许多关于披露信息的要求。
公司的概念产生于19世纪中期，但在此之前，就已存在现代公司的前身。
首先产生的是特许公司。
从17世纪起，随着世界船舶贸易的发展，特许的股份公司产生了。
股份公司是一个通过王室特许产生的，有着复杂形式的合伙企业。
特许状通常授予其在特定贸易中的垄断权。
这种公司虽然也具有独立的法律身份，但是除非特许状有特殊规定，这种企业的成员没有任何形式的有限责任。
随着股份公司的发展，股票交易也日益增多。
到18世纪前期，股票成为一些公司投机的手段。

英国2006公司法
英国2006公司法前言从教材所能引用的最早判例,1612,至今,英国公司法已经发展了三百多年。
从第一部成文法即1844年股份公司法,到这一轮公司法改革之前曾经发挥重要作用的《1985年公司法》,这期间经历数次大的改革或修订。
比较有名的几次,例如引入有限责任公司的《1855年有限责任法》,标志着公司法进入崭新时代的《1856年股份有限公司法》,规定银行业可以采取股份公司形式的1857年和1858年股份银行公司法,引入私人公司、大幅度整合以前法律《1908年公司法》,增加控股公司与子公司之间关系、规定可赎回优先股的《1929年公司法》,强调会计公开的《1948年公司法》,修改公司信息披露方面规定的《1967年公司法》,加强公司信息披露要求的《1976年公司法》,引入欧盟公司法指令的1980和1981年公司法,以及融合了先前法律、其后施行二十多年的《1985年公司法》。
1998年英国又一次迎来了大规模的公司法改革。
这次改革的成果是,产生了英国历史上最长的一部成文法,即《2006年公司法》。
一、英国公司法改革进程这一轮公司法改革从1998年开始，到2006年暂告结束。
1998年，1英国政府(贸易工业部)成立公司法审议指导小组(Company Law Review Steering Group)，肩负着提出全面修改意见的任务，开始对以前公司法的实施情况进行综合审议。
审议分成四个阶段并且在各个阶1 “贸易工业部”(Department of Trade and Industry)已经改名为“商业/企业和管理改革部(Department of Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform, BERR)”。
1段发表了相关的报告:1999年2月发表的《战略性框架》(The Strategic Framework)阐述了审议的方法、方向、一些基本问题以及今后的工作;2000年3月发表的《发展框架》(Developing the Framework)分析了公司治理结构和小公司、私人公司，提出了建议;2000年11月发表的《完善结构》(Completing Framework)则进一步修改报告并且提出了建议。
ACCAF4 英国公司法与商法 翻译讲义(部分)
CHAPTER 181 资本维持原则随着公司有限责任制度的确立，为了加强对于公司债权人的保护，英国公司法上发展了旨在维持公司股份资本，保护债权人利益的“资产维持原则”。
概括地说，英国公司法以资本维持为目的的规则主要包括两类，一类是与股份支付有关的规则，其目的在于确保公司能够真实地募集到其声称的股份资本；二是旨在为了债权人利益保护而维持公司股份资本的规则。
资本维持原则特别禁止公司的股份资本在清算之前直接或间接地被返还给股东，在被认为具有里程碑意义的特雷弗诉英制螺纹一案中，英国上议院确立了一个根本原则：除非根据法院所批准的合法的减资程序，任何股份资本所代表的财产不得被返还给其股东。
该案之后的一系列英国法判例进一步发展了这里“资本返还”的含义：除了合法的利润分配（通常是股利）及经授权的减资或经其他合法授权程序之外的，任何公司资产向股东的转移或支付均被认为构成资本返还。
在这一领域相关的英国公司法规则主要包括：股份的回赎和回购规则；减资规则；禁止公司违法分配的规则；禁止对公司取得自己股份提供财务资助的规则。
2 股份资本的减少如果公司细则进行了授权且经过法院确认，一家股份有限公司可以通过特别决议以任何方式减少其股份资本。
如果必要，公司还可以更改章程以减少其股份资本和相应的股份数。
三种公司减资的方式：（1）减轻或免除股东对已认购但只部分缴付的股份的出资责任。
（2）取消已经损失或者没有对应资产的实收股份资本。
但需要注意的是，根据判例这里的资本损失必须是永久的，否则就会被看做是对债权人利益的侵害。
（3）向股东返还任何超过公司需要的实收股份资本。
但是，如果向股东的返还属于虚假，则法院会拒绝资本的减少。
股份有限私公司的股本减少的决议，在其通过后15日内，公司董事作出公司有偿债能力声明且依法被登记的，可不需向法院申请确认。
2.1有偿债能力声明，是每个董事对于声明之日的公司状况，没有理由可以发现公司当时不能缴付（或清偿）其债务等内容的声明。

英国公司法
英国公司法（Company Law）第十章有限责任公司股份的法律性质和特征--------------------------------------------------------------------------------作者：明月孤岑文章来源：竹月斋发表于2006年10月21日CompanyLaw：FundamentalPrinciples,（2nded.）StephenGriffinLLB,PITMANPublishing,1996THE LEGAL NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF HOLDING SHARES IN A LIMITED COMPANY本章的目的是探讨不同种类的有限公司股份的法律特征，以及法院和国务大臣对股份所有权所施加的限制。
股票代表股东在公司的权益，这种权益以一定数量的金钱来衡量。
它首先包括义务，其次包括权利，但是也包括所有股东缔结的一系列双向契约。
股票的名义价值或票面价值（thenominal value）是指股东从公司购买股票所支付的最低价。
如果公司以高于票面价值的价格卖出股票，则实际价格和票面价格的差额被称为“股票溢价”（share premium），并应记载于股票溢价帐户上。
公司成员，正如我们在前面经常看到的，与股东不是一个相同的概念。
在以下几种情况下，一个人可以成为公司的成员：1、公司成立时，在公司的备忘录上签署；2、向公司成功地申请购买股票；3、向公司现有的股东购买股票；4、因公司成员的死亡或破产而继受股票。
尽管在大多数情况下，“成员”和“股东”是可以相互转换的两个名称，但有时，公司成员不是股东，而股东也可以不是成员。
例如，保证有限责任公司有成员，但没有股东。
CA1985规定，公司应当对其成员的名称、地址以及其持股程度做记录。
如果成员记录中的一些重要细节有错误时，法律规定可以修改。
股票的发行（issue）或配售（allot）通常是公司董事会决议的结果，而董事会必须有发行股票的权力。
第一章公司法概述
四、公司法与相关法的关系
（一）民法
大多数学者都认可公司法是民法的特别法。民法的一般原则均适用于公司法。 但是必须注意的是，在我国，《公司法》有浓厚的政府干预色彩，有关我国公司 法的性质容以后再讲。
（二）证券法
台湾学者赖源河在《证券管理法规》中指出：“证券法与公司法之一主要区 别在于两法目的相异，证券法以保护投资人及发展国家经济为目的，而以保护投 资人为中心，至于公司法，则以如何建立公司组织体，以求其运营健全与发展为 其中心之课题。因此，证券法所规范的直接目的在于投资人的保护，而公司法所 规范的，则在于营利主体的组织与运行。”
（三）破产法 （四）企业法
五、如何学习公司法
（一）注重知识的兼容性 （二）注重从民商法中汲取营养 （三）在实践中发现问题
（一）公司的萌芽时期（11世纪——15世纪中叶） （二）公司的产生和发展 （三）垄断时期资本主义的公司
三Hale Waihona Puke 公司法的法系（一）法国法系 （二）德国法系 （三）英美法系
在借鉴美国公司法时，所选择的标本主要是美国律师协会（ABA）的示范商 事公司法和美国法学会的公司治理指南。这两部“法律”虽然仅具有示范和指引 性质，但其绝大部分内容已为州法所采用，尤其是前者。事实上，可以说这两部 法律本身就是对美国真实判例法的重述。

一、公司的定义
英国公司法专家高维尔指出：“尽管公司法在法律领域已是公认的法律部 门，有关这方面的著述也是汗牛充栋，但依然无法准确地把握其范畴，因为公 司一次并没有严格的法律含义。” （一）公司是一种人造实体 考察公司最简单、通常也是最有用的方法，是把它看成一个独立于其所有人 或者投资人的拟制的实体，或者说是一个人造的实体。这种人造的实体可以像一 个“真实的”人那样，以自己的名义经营一项或多项业务。 由此引申出公司的一个重要特征：公司的人格性。承认公司的独立人格也 就意味着承认公司的独立主体地位。法人与自然人共同形成民事主体的二元结 构。

三、集中或专门管理
Salomon先生把自己的财产折合成38782英镑， 卖给了一个有限责任公司。该公司由Salomon先 生、他的妻子、女儿和四个儿子组成。该公司的 名义股本为40000股，每一股1英镑，其中 Salomon先生持有已全额缴付的20000股，其他6 个股东每人1股。此外，该公司还向Salomon发 行了一份金额为10000英镑、带有浮动担保的债 券，并且支付了8728英镑的现金。这样的安排， 使得Salomon先生能以票数胜过其余6名股东从 而获得对该公司的控制权。该公司除了20007股 股份外，没有发行其他股份。所有的手续都符合 1862年公司法。Salomon先生被任命为执行董事 。后来公司清算，在兑付了债券后剩余财产无法 清偿普通债权人。
