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.

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.

action oblique n. f.
derivative action


Définition :
Action intentée par un créancier au nom et pour le compte de son débiteur négligent et insolvable.


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).

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

Explanation:
Για να βοηθήσω μόνο.
«πλαγιαστική αγωγή»· (πολ. δικ.) η αγωγή που ασκεί ο δανειστής κατά τών οφειλετών τού οφειλέτη του, όταν ο τελευταίος αρνείται ή αμελεί να στραφεί κατά τών οφειλετών του, πρόκειται δηλ. για αγωγή την οποία ασκεί ο δανειστής παρακάμπτοντας εκ τού πλαγίου τον οφειλέτη και με την οποία ζητά δικαστική προστασία τών δικαιωμάτων τού οφειλέτη του.

Revocatory action, Oblique action
The revocatory action is the right of an obligee to annul an act of the obligor that causes or increases the obligor’s insolvency. If an obligor causes or increases his insolvency by failing to exercise a right, the obligee may by the oblique action exercise the right himself, unless the right is STRICTLY PERSONAL to the obligor.

Measures consist of the “action oblique” (CC 1166) , the “action directe” ,the “action paulienne”. The main difference between an action paulienne and an action oblique is that the former is based on fraud whereas the latter is based on the negligence of the debtor. The action paulienne is generally exercised by those creditors who had failed in the action directe and/or action oblique.

Oblique action
1627. A creditor whose claim is certain, liquid and exigible may exercise the rights and actions belonging to the debtor, in the debtor’s name, where the debtor refuses or neglects to exercise them to the prejudice of the creditor. However, he may not exercise rights and actions which are strictly personal to the debtor.

Schlechtriem wanted further elaboration on the wording “the principal may exercise ... the rights acquired ... by the agent” which he considered unclear. Did it refer to an “action oblique” or to a legal assignment to the principal?
