A derivative claim can be brought by a shareholder on behalf of a company against a director or another<\/a> person (or both), usually for alleged breaches<\/a> of fiduciary duty, fraud, or mismanagement. The benefit of a derivative claim goes solely to the company, not to the shareholder who initiates it. As an equitable remedy<\/a>, the court, in exercising its discretion, will<\/a> consider the conduct and motives of the claimant, as well as the availability of other remedies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este art\u00edculo analiza los requisitos clave para presentar una demanda derivada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivos para presentar una demanda derivada<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En Art\u00edculo 260 de la Ley de Sociedades de 2006<\/a> (the \u201cAct\u201d), a derivative claim may be brought by a shareholder but only in respect of a cause of action involving an actual or proposed act or omission by a director that involves negligence, default<\/a>, breach<\/a> of duty, or breach of trust<\/a>. A shareholder may bring a derivative claim against a director, another person, or both, and this can apply to a cause of action that arises either before or after the shareholder became a member of the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permiso para interponer el recurso: Un proceso en dos fases<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aunque permission<\/a> to initiate a derivative claim is not required, a shareholder must apply to the court for permission to continue the claim. At this initial stage, the court examines the evidence<\/a> provided by the claimant to determine if there is a prima facie case. If the evidence does not make a prima facie case, the court must dismiss the application and may issue any order it considers appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, si el tribunal considera que la solicitud y las pruebas constituyen un caso prima facie para conceder el permiso para continuar con la demanda, puede dar instrucciones sobre las pruebas que se requieren de la empresa y aplazar el procedimiento para permitir la obtenci\u00f3n de las pruebas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una vez reunidas estas pruebas, el tribunal proceder\u00e1 a examinar la demanda. En esta fase, el tribunal puede conceder permiso para continuar con la demanda en los t\u00e9rminos especificados, denegar el permiso y desestimar la demanda, o aplazar la solicitud y dar nuevas instrucciones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 sucede una vez concedido el permiso Prima Facie? (Segunda fase)<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the second stage, a hearing is held where the court evaluates the views of all interested parties to decide if the application should continue. The court closely scrutinises the evidence, among other factors, to determine whether the statutory<\/a> criteria are met and the claim can be continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El tribunal no conceder\u00e1 el permiso si: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It is satisfied that the person against whom the claim is brought was acting in accordance with their duty to promote the company\u2019s success<\/a> per Art\u00edculo 172 de la Ley<\/a>, y ning\u00fan director que siga este deber desear\u00eda continuar con la reclamaci\u00f3n; o bien\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The act or omission for which the shareholder seeks to bring the claim has been authorised by the shareholders<\/a> or ratified by the company.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If neither of these applies, the court will consider adicional<\/a> factors in deciding whether to permit the derivative claim, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
