Abstract

The article discusses the legal nature of representation of capital shareholding company in the case concerning an appeal ­against a resolution of its general meeting. It considers what entities are authorised to act in the name and on behalf of the company in litigation. Special attention given to the status of a proxy appointed by the general meeting and acting on behalf of the company. By opting for the narrow understanding of the term “representation” it is concluded that the proxy acting on behalf of the company in a case concerning an appeal against a resolution of the company’s general meeting does not constitute the company’s representation.
