Nanjing Ansheng Financial Consulting Co. v. Zhu Juan

南京安盛财务顾问有限公司诉祝鹃股东会决议罚款纠纷案

Gazette case on article-based sanctions against shareholders, holding that a shareholder fine resolution lacked effect where the articles did not clearly specify the standard and range of penalties.

Use It For

Use this for article-based governance controls, shareholder sanctions, and the limits of majority power in a close company.

Brief English Introduction

The case accepts that articles may discipline shareholder conduct in some circumstances, but insists that penalty standards be clear enough to avoid arbitrary majority punishment.

Teaching Notes

Pair this with Guiding Case No. 96 to compare legitimate “people-connected” close-company arrangements with oppressive or under-specified exit and penalty mechanisms.
