derivative suit/action Explanation: derivative action n. a lawsuit brought by a corporation shareholder against the directors, management and/or other shareholders of the corporation, for a failure by management. In effect, the suing shareholder claims to be acting on behalf of the corporation, because the directors and management are failing to exercise their authority for the benefit of the company and all of its shareholders. This type of suit often arises when there is fraud, mismanagement, self-dealing and/or dishonesty which are being ignored by officers and the board of directors of a corporation. etc. Για το γαλλικό, όντως action oblique -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2007-03-12 05:56:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- derivative suit A civil lawsuit filed by shareholders on behalf of a corporation asserting rights of the corporation in the absence of corporate action to protect such rights; a suit by shareholders to enforce corporate rights against directors or other insiders. The standing of shareholders to sue is derived from the rights of the corporation. This differs from a class action (or representative suit), where a large group of plaintiffs (shareholders or otherwise) bring suit in their own right.

Note(s) : Action oblique (action indirecte ou subrogatoire). Permet à un créancier d'exercer les droits et actions de son débiteur, lorsque celui-ci néglige de le faire et que son inaction nuit au créancier. L'action oblique ne permet pas d'exercer des actions exclusivement attachées à la personne (par ex. : action en nullité de mariage). http://www.granddictionnaire.com/btml/fra/r_motclef/index800...

Kαι μια και γλωσσικά αντιστοιχεί και το νόημα αποδίδεται (diif.types of derivative actions) δεν βλέπω πρόβλημα (π.χ. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLJ_enGR210GR21... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day9 hrs (2007-03-13 08:18:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Επειδή είχαμε άλλη μια συζήτηση (κατ'ιδίαν), να τονίσω ότι δεν βλέπω πρόβλημα με το "derivative action". Ούτε νομίζω ότι πρέπει να γίνεται "αντιστοίχιση" πάντα. In any case, μια και στη μεταξύ μας αλληλογραφία αναφέρθηκε το άρθρο 72 του Κ.Πολ.Δ.: Άρθρο 72 Πλαγιαστική αγωγή Οι δανειστές έχουν δικαίωμα να ζητήσουν δικαστική προστασία ασκώντας τα δικαιώματα του οφειλέτη τους εφόσον εκείνος δεν τα ασκεί, εκτός αν συνδέονται στενά με το πρόσωπό του. http://users.otenet.gr/~noths/gendiat.html (Ναι, μοιάζει εξαιρετικά με το: Les créanciers peuvent exercer tous les droits et actions de leur débiteur, à l'exception de ceux qui sont exclusivement attachés à la personne — Code civil français, article 1166 και ενδεχομένως κι εκεί να βασίζεται), αλλά δεν νομίζω ότι οι Καναδοί αγνοούν τον γαλλ. αστ. κώδ. ούτε και τη χρήση του "derivative" in... common law. και Article 72 "Subrogation action (plagiastiki agogi) Creditors may apply for judicial protection, exercising the rights of their debtors in the event of the latter's failure to exercise them, except rights of a close personal nature." http://www.worldlii.org/eu/cases/ECHR/1991/38.html Αλλά: any subrogation claim IS a derivative claim (*δεν είναι και τόσο στενή η χρήση του derivative, άλλο αν έχει εξαιρ. συγκεκρ. έννοια σε Εμπ.Δ.): http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLJ_enGR210GR21... And, from Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1856 Edition): DERIVATIVE POWER. An authority by which one person enables another to do an act for him. See Powers. +DERIVATIVE. Coming from another; taken from something preceding, secondary; as derivative title, which is that acquired from another person. There is considerable difference between an original and a derivative title. When the acquisition is original, the right thus acquired to the thing becomes property, which must be unqualified and unlimited, and since no one but the occupant has any right to the thing, he must have the whole right of disposing of it. But with regard to derivative acquisition, it may be otherwise, for the person from whom the thing is acquired may not have an unlimited right to it, or he may convey or transfer it with certain reservations of right. Derivative title must always be by contract. 2. Derivative conveyances are, those which presuppose some other precedent conveyance, and serve only to enlarge, confirm, alter, restrain, restore, or transfer the interest granted by such original conveyance, 3 Bl. Com. 321. On subrogation: SUBROGATION, civil law, contracts. The act of putting by a transfer, a person in the place of another, or a thing in the place of another thing. It is the substitution (q.v.) of a new for an old creditor, and the succession to his rights, which is called subrogation; transfusio unius creditoris in alium. It is precisely the reverse of delegation. (q.v.) 2. There are three kinds of subrogation: 1. That made by the owner of a thing of his own free will; example, when be voluntarily assigns it. 2. That which arises in consequence of the law, even without the consent of the owner; example, when a man pays a debt which could not be properly called his own, but which nevertheless it was his interest to pay, or which he might have been compelled to pay for another, the law subrogates him to all the rights of the creditor. Vide 2 Binn. Rep. 382; White's L. C. in Eq.* 60- 72. 3. That which arises by the act of law joined to the act of the debtor; as, when the debtor borrows money expressly to pay off his debt, and with the intention of substituting the lender in the place of the old creditor. 7 Toull. liv. 3, t. 3, c. 5, sect. 1, Sec. 2.
