    公司解散后,股东恶意隐藏财产清单导致公司无法清算的,债权人该怎么办?
    2015-03-10

    公司解散后,清算的进行必须要以公司相关财务资料的完备为前提,清算义务人负有确保公司相关财务资料完备齐全的义务。如果因公司财务资料的缺失而导致清算无法进行,致使债权无法受偿的,清算义务人须就此承担连带赔偿责任。

      【案例】

      甲公司(深圳某服装贸易有限公司)与乙公司(深圳某服装生产厂)于2010年1月1日签订了《服装购买合同》,约定甲公司向乙公司购买一批服装,价款为15万元人民币。在 2010年4月1日之前乙公司须向甲公司交付服装,2010年5月1日之前甲公司须向乙公司支付15万元的价款。后乙公司如期交付了货物,但是甲公司未在合同约定的期限内支付价款。乙公司在2010年5月3号向甲公司发出了《付款催告通知》,要求甲公司在3个月之内还款。针对这笔款项,甲公司于5月5日向乙公司制定了还款计划书,根据该还款计划书:从2010年5月6日起,公司将根据自身的资金情况,每月尽可能多的向乙公司还款。还款计划书出具后,甲公司在5月6日向乙公司支付了5000元,之后就再未履行还款义务。乙公司于2010年8月20日获悉甲公司已于4天前解散。邹某、金某、朱某是甲公司的股东,且邹某为了逃避债务,故意隐藏公司财物清单,导致甲公司无法进行清算。乙公司求偿无望,欲通过诉讼手段解决争议。

      此时,乙公司的救济途径有哪些?

    股东恶意注销公司逃避债务,债权人找谁“算账”?(一)
    2015-03-17

    实践中,往往会出现在执行过程中,作为被执行人的公司注销的情形。注销是《公司法》规定的使公司实体灭失的一种方式,注销后,该实体将不再存在,依照相关程序法的规定,作为被执行人的公司灭失后,将依法终结诉讼。负债公司多以注销当幌子,进行逃避到期债务之实。在作为被执行人的公司注销,而公司账面仍有剩余财产的情况下,债权人应如何使自己的到期合法债权得到清偿?下面请看一则案例。

      【案例】

      李某、刘某、朱某原是北京XX有限公司员工。因公司无故拖欠工资,三人向北京市东城区劳动争议仲裁委员会提起仲裁,要求XX公司支付工资及补偿金。仲裁委于2008年8月1日裁决XX公司支付债权人双倍工资、加班费、补偿金,其中应当支付李某2.2余万元、支付刘某2.1余万元、支付朱某1.6余万元。

      该裁决生效后,三债权人于2008年8月22日申请法院强制执行。在执行过程中发现XX公司已于2008年8月25日向工商部门申请注销,并提交了清算报告,三位股东正是清算组成员。清算报告中称没有未完结的债权债务关系。公司账面剩余财产为7.5万元,三位股东就出资额对该剩余财产进行了分配。工商部门遂于2008年9月20日核准了清算组注销XX公司的申请,导致法院无法强制执行。

      很显然,在上述案例中,债权人可以要求三位股东承担清偿责任。理由如下:

    Creditors’ rights clarified by Interpretation II of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the People’s Republic of China
    2013-12-16

    Understanding your rights as a creditor while navigating under China’s bankruptcy laws is becoming a must these days, especially for foreign creditors. As many foreign companies engage in business with Chinese companies, chances are likely that you will encounter a failing Chinese company that will file for bankruptcy in China. A China bankruptcy filing can have a tremendous impact upon foreign creditors.  If you are doing business with Chinese companies or have investments in Chinese companies, you should be aware of your rights as a creditor under Chinese bankruptcy laws.

    少数股东在公司清算中的责任 ----血本无归是否是最糟糕的结果?
    2014-03-18

    风险投资人会投资多家目标公司,以寻找下一个苹果或谷歌。在很多此类投资案例中,风险投资人仅持有少数 股份,因此他们不会对被投资公司的日常经营拥有控制权。在这些投资案例中,大多数投资人相信,根据中国 公司法项下的有限责任原则,如果投资失败,赔掉当初投资的金额将会是最坏的结果。然而,中国法院最近判 决的一些案例表明并强调:如果少数股东不能适当履行其对于被投资公司清算时的义务,则存在"揭开公司面 纱"的风险。

    1. 案例

    2005年,中国的一家国有风险投资公司--深圳市国成科技投资有限公司("国成")向深圳协雅精密工业制品有限 公司("深圳协雅")投资了六十一万美元,深圳协雅是一家被协雅国际工业有限公司("协雅国际")100%持股 的外商独资企业。投资交割后,国成成为持有深圳协雅约15%股权的少数股东,其有权向深圳协雅董事会任命 一名董事。遗憾的是,国成的投资很快就被证明是令人失望的。雪上加霜的是,深圳协雅卷入了一宗与上海东 洋炭素有限公司("上海东洋")的诉讼中。根据深圳协雅与上海东洋达成的一份和解协议,深圳协雅确认其欠 付上海东洋人民币155.4万(约合25万美元)。然而,深圳协雅未能根据和解协议向上海东洋支付上述款项。
