董事的民事责任
Civil Liability of Directors
一般来说,如果董事在其职权范围内行事,并且没有违反其受托责任,则不向任何第三方承担个人责任。泰国《民商法典》授权公司、其股东和债权人要求董事对公司因违反任何信托责任而遭受的损害进行赔偿。此类民事诉讼案件的举证责任属于提起民事诉讼的一方。如果董事取得了股东大会的事先批准或事后批准,那么,董事是可以避免此类责任。需要注意的是,董事从公司董事会辞职并不会带来豁免权,因为董事在辞职后两年内仍需对违反信托责任承担责任。董事和高级管理人员责任保险是一种越来越受欢迎的保护手段。
Generally speaking, directors are not personally liable to any third party if they act within the scope of their authority and do not act in breach of their fiduciary duties. The CCC empowers the company, its shareholders, and its creditors to hold directors liable to pay compensation for damages suffered by the company due to breach of any fiduciary duty. The burden of proof belongs to the party who initiates the civil lawsuit. Directors could avoid liability if they seek prior approval or post-action ratification from the general meeting of the shareholders. Resigning from the board will not bring immunity, since directors are still liable for breach of fiduciary duty for two years after resignation. Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is an increasingly popular means of protection.
