Shareholders and directors of legal entities sometimes differ in their opinions on the right policy to be pursued. If the matter cannot be resolved through discussion, inquiry proceedings may provide a solution. In such cases, the Stockholders’ Association often acts as driving force. The specific proceedings are conducted at the Enterprise Section of the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam and are available to everyone, from multinationals to small private limited companies with only two shareholders.

The quality of the annual report often comes under review during the investigation, and so does the role of the company’s auditor. During the second stage of the proceedings, the parties battle out the question of whether the expert’s report actually demonstrates the existence of mismanagement, and if so, what measures should be taken as a result. Such measures vary from temporary suspension or appointment of a director or supervisory director with a deciding vote to extremely drastic solutions. These include the dismissal of directors or supervisory directors, a ban on investment decisions, or declaring shareholders’ resolutions to be void.
