German term (edited): Nichtigkeits- und Anfechtungsklagen erheben

to bring actions to rescind and actions for avoidance

the quotes are from German texts, but perhaps it helps

A comparison of the German and the American system reveals striking differences concerning both the magnitude and effect of actions to rescind (resp.: actions for avoidance). The German system, characterized by highly concentrated share ownership and a straight-forward practice of proxy voting, allows a growing number of suits challenging a majority decision.

The change of statute is governed by the Umwandlungsgesetz (UmwandlungsG), enacted in 1994. Section 210 UmwandlungsG establishes that shareholders cannot bring actions to rescind or actions for avoidance against the corporation's decision to change its statute, based on the claim that they have received a deficient compensation offer for their shares (or perhaps no offer of compensation at all).

The plaintiffs had challenged resolutions passed at the general meeting of Augusta Technologie AG by filing actions for avoidance.
