This paper observes the transfer of a company seat to a different Member State as an expression of the EU freedom of establishment. The reason for such analysis is the recent and somewhat controversial "Polbud" decision. The Court decided that a company enjoys the freedom of establishment to transfer its registered seat to another Member State despite the fact that it will not perform any economic activity there. In addition, the Court held that the mandatory liquidation of a company goes beyond what is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of minority shareholders, creditors, and employees. The paper scrutinizes both findings. A special attention is devoted to the role of an actual economic activity for the notion of the freedom of establishment. The paper arrives to the conclusion that, along with the freedom to actually perform economic activity, the freedom of establishment includes the freedom to use all national legal forms suitable for performing of an economic activity. As to the second finding, although it is possible that the mandatory liquidation indeed goes beyond necessary, the Court failed to demonstrate that this was the case.
Condictio indebiti, condictio causa data causa non secuta, condictio ob causam finitam, condictio ob turpem vel iniustam causam i, na koncu, condictio sine causa, tipični su kondikcijski zahtjevi koji tradicionalno pojednostavnjuju inače heterogen institut neopravdanog obogaćenja i čine ga pristupačnim ponajprije pravnim praktičarima. Zagovara se podjela na činidbene i nečinidbene kondikcije. Pretpostavka obogaćenja potvrđuje da se činidbenim i nečinidbenim kondikcijama ostvaruju različite zadaće te da se na njih primjenjuju različita pravna pravila. Ključne riječi: neopravdano obogaćenje, stjecanje bez osnove, činidbene i nečinidbene kondikcije I. UVOD Pravo neopravdanog obogaćenja je, kao i, primjerice, deliktna odgovornost za štetu, pojavni oblik poravnavajuće, a ne razdjeljujuće pravednosti (iustitia commutativa, a ne iustitia distributiva) jer titularu nastoji vratiti pravno dobro koje je zbog neopravdanog stjecanja poremetilo inače pravno zaštićen odnos
Of all commercial companies in business practice, a vast majority are established as limited liability companies. Shares in such company are often a part of the entity’s assets, and when it comes to economic entities, it often even represents a part of their strategic asset substrate. The paper elaborates on the transfer of shares. Existing legal rules are analysed, and special attention is given to the issue of the form of the transfer agreement and the role that the notary public has in the transfer of shares. The paper also analyses the newly proposed solution relating to the transfer of shares by the Draft proposal of the Act on Amendments to the Companies Act, which was released for public debate on the 20th October 2021. Following such analysis, the paper draws attention to the inconsistencies and shortcomings of the proposed solution, as well as to the negative consequences that it might cause in practice.
