Derivative Suits. When it comes to protecting their interests – or the interests of the corporation – shareholders have unique rights to take legal action. They can file suit either on behalf of the corporation itself, known as a derivative action, or on their own behalf, called a direct action.
Firstly, the shareholder or director has to seek leave of the Court to start derivative proceedings. This procedural requirement provides a necessary filter against spurious claims whereby the Court will consider whether there is a prima facie case before granting leave.
The first stage involves a shareholder submitting a claim form to the court seeking permission from the court to commence derivative proceedings. The court will then consider whether to grant permission to bring the derivative claim based on whether there is a prima facie case to bring it.
Make a demand in writing requiring the corporation to take suitable action before the action (Generally, a derivative suit can only be filed 90 days after written demand. But it may be initiated ahead of time if a) the corporation rejects the demand, or b) the corporation will suffer irreparable harm if they wait).
This ultimately serves to protect the public from any untoward corporate actions. Examples of behavior that could lead to a shareholder derivative action include financial fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, and breach of fiduciary duty.
A shareholder (stockholder) derivative suit is a lawsuit brought by a shareholder or group of shareholders on behalf of the corporation against the corporation's directors, officers, or other third parties who breach their duties.
The first involves obtaining permission from the court immediately after serving a claim form. Without such permission, the derivative claim is struck out. All a claimant must demonstrate is that there is a prima facie case, meaning that there could be a genuine case and it is not just a frivolous claim.
If you or a loved one are remanded without bond, it means there is no chance for release before a trial date. Instead, you will be required to remain in jail until your hearing.
Under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.134, state prosecutors generally have up to 30 days to file charges against someone following their arrest. If the defendant remains uncharged, the court must release them on their own recognizance by the 33rd day following their initial arrest.
