摘要


隨著經濟之發展,公司逐漸朝向集團化發展,集團之產生使得諸多資源皆由企業集團掌控,其經濟力之龐大多可影響相關產業之經營。此外,為調和集團內各子公司間之利益及經營方向等,集團現多朝向控股關係架構經營,創設專以投資及管理子公司之控股公司,藉由其對子公司之持股及控制,統合控股關係架構下各子公司之經營。由於公司獨立法人格及法人股東有限責任制度使得控股公司可僅以其所認子公司之股份為限,對子公司之債務負責,控股公司負擔有限責任之結果,使得集團可以透過創設公司之方式嘗試投資新的領域,更加促進集團勢力之擴大,且不致因為集團內某子公司之經營失敗而使控股公司或整個控股集團承受過大之風險。 然而一旦控股公司有不當利用子公司之行為產生時,若仍容許控股公司得享有公司獨立法人格及股東有限責任制度之優惠,則不免對子公司債權人不公,故本文即以控股關係架構下,控股公司有不當利用子公司行為時,股東有限責任之突破為討論核心,並參考文獻上所介紹美國實務之發展,對子公司之類型及控股公司不當利用子公司之行為態樣加以介紹以作為參考。 本論文之編排為: 第一章緒論,旨在闡明研究動機、目的、範圍及方法,期能於本文起頭即給予讀者清楚之方向,以便於本文之閱讀。 第二章控股公司之概念與架構,就控股公司之定義作一簡單之介紹,以便於劃定本文討論之標的,並試圖將其與其他概念作比較,以刻劃更清楚之控股公司概念。至於控股公司之成立方式、類型及組織架構亦為本章所討論之主題,說明控股公司之各種型態。 第三章控股公司對於子公司債務之清償責任開始,乃本文重點,首先從有限責任出發,討論其理論背景及功能,分析其制度之存廢;其次再從控股關係架構下討論有限責任是否亦應同等適用之問題;最後再以美國判例法所衍生之揭穿公司面紗原則,討論在控股公司不當利用子公司時,該理論之應用,並深入介紹工具理論之三個要件,以期能對揭穿公司面紗原則於美國法之應用有更深入之瞭解。 第四章控股公司不當利用子公司之行為態樣及其影響,則再就控股公司與子公司之關係作簡單闡述,說明控股公司創設子公司之優缺,並介紹美國文獻上子公司之類型以及控股公司對於子公司之侵害及不公平情事之四種態樣,擇其中控股公司不當利用子公司類型加以分析討論,控股公司對於子公司可能會有的五種不當利用行為,以及控股公司就整體集團利益之考量可能犧牲子公司權益,所造成子公司債權人之侵害。 第五章我國法之檢討及金融控股公司法之參考比較,則是從我國法之角度出發,探討我國法是否有規範控股公司之法規依據,並嘗試從公司法關係企業專章之條文探尋控制公司與控股公司之關係,批評公司法關係企業專章適用於控股公司下可能產生之謬誤,最後更提出金融控股公司法第56條以為參考,判斷是否得為提高控股公司對子公司責任之依據。 第六章結論即為本文最後一章,乃將本文之重要概念重新闡述,將本文作一總結。

Under the concept of “corporate personality” and “limited liability,“ a holding company will not necessarily have to take more liabilities in its subsidiaries. Indeed, a holing company will only accept limited liability when its subsidiaries become insolvent. This encourages the holding company expanding business and also has much more advantages in the capital market regardless its suitableness, especially when a corporate group is under a subservient subsidiary situation. This thesis aims to discuss the liability of a holding company for the debt of its subsidiaries under subservient subsidiary situation, which comprises six chapters: Chapter One: Preliminary. It introduces the motives, questions inspiring the author, and the structure of the thesis. Chapter Two: The concept and structure of holding company. This chapter gives the definition of holding company and introduces the model and structure in an attempt to give readers clearer concepts of holding company for further research. Chapter Three: The liability of the holding company for the debts of its subsidiaries. This chapter mentions about the limited liability and reassesses the role of limited liability within corporate group. Although the conclusion is to maintain the limited liability doctrine, in some special circumstance it still can be abandoned. The final part of this chapter introduces the principle of lifting the corporate veil and focuses on the “instrumentality doctrine”. Chapter Four: The abuse or unfairness comes from holding company, especially in the subservient subsidiary situation. This chapter introduces the relationship between holding company and its subsidiaries, and the three types of subsidiaries. What makes this chapter important is that, this chapter introduces four categories of abuse or unfairness of the holding company and focuses on the subservient subsidiary situation. Five types of unfairness under subservient subsidiary situation are as follow:(1)Transfer pricing:(2)Diversion of corporate opportunities;(3)Manipulation of assets;(4)Financial support of group;(5)Operation of the subsidiary without a profit motive. Chapter Five: The review of Taiwan’s Corporate Law, and comparison of Bank Holding Company Law. This chapter mainly introduces Taiwan’s Corporate Law and its comparison with Bank Holding Company Law, endeavoring to make an improvement of these two significant laws. Chapter Six: Conclusion. This chapter reviews the thesis and draws conclusion of the research result.
