Clarification of the law distorts its meaning and threatens fines. Five reasons to challenge it

The main question is – what circumstances will help challenge an act containing regulatory measures? What to do if the law is contrary to certain provisions of the disputed document? Should it be appealed in its entirety or in part? Solution: seeking to have an act containing regulatory measures recognized as invalid, can be based on procedural and substantive grounds. If the government agency has violated the procedures to issue the act, the court will satisfy the claim. However, to win the argument, it is better to put forth the maximum number of arguments. For example, to reveal contradictions in the contested act, to involve a third party in the case, which will provide an explanation as to the non-compliance of the act to the law.

Recovery of damages from the issuer and registrar for improper cancellation of shares

The “heyday” of corporate conflicts, related to theft and other cases of improper cancellation of shares, took place in the 2000s. Back then was formed the main layer of legal approaches of the courts to such disputes, and the nuances of protecting the victim shareholders. If unable to get back their shares from the issuer, the affected shareholders, in general, resorted to the universal path of defending their legitimate interests – seeking damages to be reimbursed by the company and/or the registrar. Today, cases involving the recovery of such losses have become much fewer. However, in practice, during consideration of similar disputes arising today, the courts still can view such issues differently. Always remain relevant the questions of correctly determining the amount of compensation that should or may be recovered through the court for unreasonable transactions with shares in the shareholders register.
