The aim of this book is to provide a shareholder investing in a foreign company with practical information on the various means of protection and the ways in which such protection can be judicially enforced in the respective foreign country. It contains 15 reports on almost all of the major European jurisdictions as well as on the USA. The reports answer such questions as: what are the requirements for shareholders' resolutions?; what rights of information does a minority shareholder have?; how can he influence the decision-making process?; and does a minority shareholder have the right to demand a dividend and to participate in capital increases?
