论企业法人目的范围之意义——私法和公法的不同角度

对我国现行法律中对企业法人目的范围的限制作了多角度的分析。从公司法来看 ,早期确立的“越围原则”在后来的发展中已被证明对于保护股东和债权人利益之不力。从民法的一般原理看 ,对企业法人目的范围的限制 ,本质上是对企业法人之法定代表人的代表权的限制 ,与企业法人行为之效力无关。站在公法的角度 ,目的范围之决定是企业法人的当然权利 ,国家权力的过多干预将有悖于社会主义市场经济的基本精神。

On significance of Corporate Objectives and Scope

In order to understand the real meaning of the corporate objectives and scope which are set by present statues in China, an analysis from different spectrums may be necessary. From the spectrum of corporation law, Ultra vires has been proved to be powerless in protecting the interests of shareholders and creditors. In the general principle of civil law, corporate objectives and scope are in fact the scope of the power of corporate representatives and have nothing to do with the effect of the act of the corporation legal person. Public law spectrum must admit that corporate objectives and scope should be determined by corporation itself rather than the government. Unnecessary interference would be unsuitable to socialist market economy.
