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, volont\u00e0<\/a> consider the conduct and motives of the claimant, as well as the availability of other remedies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questo articolo illustra i requisiti fondamentali per la presentazione di una richiesta di risarcimento in via derivata. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivi per la presentazione di una domanda di risarcimento in via derivata<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sotto Sezione 260 del Companies Act 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

Permesso di presentare l'azione: Un processo in due fasi<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mentre 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

Tuttavia, se il tribunale ritiene che la domanda e le prove costituiscano una causa prima facie per concedere l'autorizzazione a continuare la richiesta, pu\u00f2 dare indicazioni sulle prove richieste alla societ\u00e0 e rinviare il procedimento per consentire il reperimento delle prove.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una volta raccolte queste prove, il tribunale proceder\u00e0 all'esame della domanda. In questa fase, il tribunale pu\u00f2 concedere l'autorizzazione a proseguire la causa a determinate condizioni, negare l'autorizzazione e respingere la domanda, oppure rinviare la domanda e impartire ulteriori istruzioni. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosa succede dopo il rilascio dell'autorizzazione prima facie? (Seconda 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

Il tribunale non conceder\u00e0 il permesso se: <\/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 Sezione 172 della Legge<\/a>, e nessun amministratore che si attenga a questo dovere desidera continuare la richiesta di risarcimento; oppure\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 aggiuntivo<\/a> factors in deciding whether to permit the derivative claim, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
