  • QUORUM DETERMINATION TO BREAK THROUGH GMOS DEADLOCK

    In a General Shareholder Meeting (" GMOS "), we often discover that a quorum is unattainable due to the absence of shareholders even though the shareholders have been officially summoned to attend the GMOS. The absence of shareholders may result from a disagreement over the agenda of the GMOS. In such event, the Board of Directors or the Board of Commissioners may issue the summons for the second GMOS. Furthermore, if the second GMOS quorum is still unattainable, according to Law No. 40 Year 2007 regarding Limited Liability Company (" UUPT "), the company may request that the Head of the District Court, who has jurisdiction over the company's domicile, determine the quorum for the third GMOS. The UUPT regulates this matter in order to avoid a deadlock in making decisions, which may hamper the company's business activities.

  • NO MAN SHALL BE A JUDGE ON HIS OWN CAUSE

    The problem of due process of law often comes up in an investigation process, especially in evaluating the treatment of a person who is being investigated by law enforcers, i.e. the police, the prosecutor or the judge.

  • COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF A COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    In a company, the Director or the Board of Directors plays a very important role in managing the company's daily activities, which could result in two possibilities, the growth or the loss of the company. In order to achieve such goals, the Director or the Board of Directors needs to have sufficient knowledge in order to manage and develop the Company because as a professional, the Director is granted valuable powers, by the law or by the Articles of Association of the Company.
