| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the role that corporate litigation plays in corporate governance.
(1) In a closed company, the arrangement of the parties should be given priority, but in jurisdictions such as the United States and Japan where trust is placed on judgements by the courts, I found that there is little need to use arbitration. Rather, it is important to ensure the involvement of the courts, and I examined the accessibility for the courts' involvement when minority shareholders request the permission to convene shareholders' meeting, and when a co-shareholder exercise rights of quasi-co-owned shares.
(2) In listed companies, a company indemnification system is considered to be prepared to improve the environment for the execution of duties by corporate directors as "offensive corporate governance." However, I found this company indemnification system is not consist with the overall structure of Companies Law in Japan.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
民事訴訟は、通常、損失を補填する機能に着目されるが、株式会社における株主と会社との訴訟は、損失の補填を求めるというよりも、適正な企業運営を求めるところに意義がある。同族企業など株式が流動しない会社と、株式が流動する上場企業とでは、株主と会社との間の民事訴訟の意義も異なる。この点の違いから、会社の運営の仕組みの中での民事訴訟が果たす役割を考える本研究は、今後の会社法制のあり方、会社の運営にあって、株主が果たす役割を考察し、今後の企業の仕組みを考える基礎を提供するものと考えている。
