Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ett aktiebolag får inte låna ut pengar till en person som är närstående till företaget, eller till en person som ska förvärva aktier i bolaget eller överordnat bolag i samma koncern. Det finns dock möjlighet att söka dispens från de aktiebolagsrättsliga låneförbuden. I denna artikel analyseras dispensförfarandet i detalj med stöd av en kartläggning av samtliga dispensärenden under fem år. Genomgången av myndighetspraxis visar av vem dispensmöjligheten utnyttjas och under vilka förutsättningar dispens medges, men också hur låneförbudens undantag tillämpas i praktiken, särskilt undantaget för kommersiella lån. Sammantaget visar studien att dispensmöjligheten troligtvis underutnyttjas.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For the corporate business model to be successful, it is important to align the interests of those who control and finance the firm. Corporate law has here an important task to fulfill. It offers a legal framework that can facilitate parties to conclude mutually preferable agreements at low transaction costs. The purpose of this paper is to show how to design corporate law to fulfill this task and apply this knowledge to a Swedish case. A two-dimension model that simultaneously considers both the regulation intensity and the level of default of corporate law is presented. The earlier literature treats these dimensions separately. By adding a transaction cost perspective to our model, we assess different regulatory techniques and examine how the Swedish legislation can be amended to help corporations by offering a standard contract that lowers the transaction costs of contracting. This can be achieved if default rules or standards of opt-out character are combined with other regulatory techniques with lower transaction costs such as opt-in alternatives and menus. We also show how our model can be used in other studies as a tool to analyze the design of legal rules.

Aktiebolagsrätt i domstol : En rättsfallsstudie

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I artikeln presenteras en rättsfallskartläggning över bolagsrättsliga domar vid Högsta domstolen eller hovrätterna i under 2013-2017. Studien visar bland annat att oaktat var du bor i Sverige är det lika stor sannolikhet för en aktiebolagsrättslig tvist, att talan i drygt hälften av målen riktas mot styrelseledamöter och att så mycket som en tredjedel av rättsfallen handlar om bolagsledningens personliga betalningsansvar. Studien ger också anledning att diskutera förekomsten och nyttan av empiriskt material inom rättsvetenskapen.

Bolagsorganens reglering och dess ändamålsenlighet : En aktiebolagsrättslig studie om ägarledda bolag
- 2014
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation discusses the regulation of organisation in limited companies from a closely held company perspective. The overall aim of the study is to evaluate whether the goals of the Swedish Companies Act are fulfilled by the current regulation on company organisation and decision taking organs when applied to closely held owner managed companies. The study is carried out in the field of Company Law, but the analysis also includes contributions from Regulation Theory and Law and Economics.To fulfil the overall aim, the study sets up two main research tasks. The first research task is to identify the goals of the Swedish Companies Act and what regulative tools that are available to achieve these goals. The second research task is to investigate the current regulation of organization and decision taking organs of a company. Focus is placed on how owner managed companies can be flexible in their decision taking activity, both within the company organs and in other arenas outside the firm such an owners meeting or family council. When these two main research tasks have been performed, the overall aim of this study can be fulfilled. The evaluation of the Companies Act reveals that the legislator’s prioritisation of legislative goal can be challenged. It may be argued that the goal to lower the transaction costs of the parties can be enhanced without diminishing any other goals. In accordance with this conclusion, the final research task of this study is to give recommendations de lege ferenda on how the regulation can be developed in order to achieve a higher degree of reaching the goals of the Companies Act.The conclusions argued for in this study are related to future regulation of the organisation of companies limited by shares. Therefore, the conclusions are aimed towards policy makers. However, the analysis within the second research task is of relevance for owner managers and their advisors on the subject of how they can be flexible in their decision taking activity, both within the company organs and in other arenas such as an owner’s meeting or a family council.

Dimensions of control in private limited companies

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When reading modern corporate finance literature, the question: ‘Why concentrated ownership?’, appears to puzzle the authors. The question is upside down; it should instead be: ‘Why dispersed ownership?’. Most private companies are closely held, and within these firms, each shareholder has a high degree of control. It is, therefore, interesting to ask what makes shareholders give away, share, or lose control. In this chapter, we broaden our view on control in private companies discussing legal and practical dimensions of control in private limited companies from a Nordic perspective. Using real life cases, we discuss practical dimensions of control, spanning from formal legal control to informal control, including aspects of psychological ownership.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate if company law regulation is in need ofnew instruments to enhance good governance when tacking shareholder conflicts inSMEs. For this purpose, I first need to explore statutory and contractual regulation andits function in situations where there is a disagreement or a conflict between controllingand minority shareholders in owner-managed SMEs. This discussion is divided intothree phases: before an individual becomes a minority shareholder, during theco-ownership, and when a conflict has arisen leading to a collapse of the collaboration. In each of these phases, statutory or contractual regulation can empower the minorityshareholder. The analysis will, however, show that traditional shareholder protectionrules can increase the conflict rather than solve it and hereby hinder the company torun properly. Consequently, I discuss three instruments on how to empower minorityshareholders in SME-conflicts while also promoting good governance.
