Shareholders Agreement Jersey

39 Given that a shareholders` pact will be almost inevitable in writing, the main English case in support of the proposition that a shareholders` pact may constitute a shareholder decision is in La Re Duomatic Ltd[37], in which Buckley J. stated that (as part of the shareholder agreement on an issue by signing the financial statements) – 5 Most legal systems require that a company`s constitutional documents be available to the public in their place. This (a) ensures that shareholders who (in a jurisdiction such as Jersey) are parties to a legal contract whose terms are set out in a company`s constitutional documents have access to it and (for example). B creditors) or even shareholders or directors who have their access to company documents blocked allow us to consult the company`s statutes and understand what the company can and cannot do and how it must make decisions. Similarly, many jurisdictions (including Jersey) require that important decisions of a company that amends its constitution be registered and accessible to the public. There is therefore the potential for immediate tension between the desire of shareholders to keep economically sensitive agreements confidential and the public interest in the accessibility of a company`s most important constitutional documents, although, as I will explain, these tensions are not as acute as they may be in the first place. The reason for this is that the main consideration of the public interest with respect to the availability of a corporation`s constitutional documents to the public is to ensure that creditors are informed of the status of the limited liability of its shareholders, as this is an issue which, according to corporate law, is dealt with in the statutes of a corporation and not in its articles. However, the way in which a jurisdiction like Jersey manages this tension and finds a balance between competing interests can influence the attractiveness of a jurisdiction that can use it for corporate structures. 56 To the extent that there are differences between the CJL and the English Companies Acts, these differences are generally not essential in this context and, to the extent that they are material, the provisions of the CJL are generally less cumbersome than the corresponding provisions of the English Companies Acts. In particular, (a) non-compliance with business-building decisions does not constitute a criminal offence within the meaning of the ECJ (i.e., a criminal offence within the meaning of CA 1985 and CA 2006), (b) the ECJ contains a savings provision that is not provided for in THE 1985 CA and the 2006 CA, i.e. whether decisions or agreements were to be filed , but they don`t have an effect yet, (c) the YJC that special rights that are not included in a company`s articles are presented where the company is a public company (CA 1985 and CA 2006 require such notification for all companies) and (d) that the CJK does not contain a general obligation to submit consolidated articles containing amendments (unlike CA 1985 and CA 2006).
