股东会、董事会职权的兜底条款质疑

规定股东会职权的《公司法》第38条和规定董事会职权的第47条分别有一个概括性的规定：“公司章程规定的其他职权”，这种条款一般被称为兜底条款。这是2005年公司法修改的时候新增加的条款，立法者试图通过强化章程自治解决股东会和董事会职权规定不清的问题。然而，事与愿违，兜底条款不能全部实现立法的目的，甚至还由此产生了新的问题，即在章程没有规定时，无法判断有些事项究竞是股东会的职权还是董事会的职权。同时在股东会职权规定条款和董事会职权规定条款增加兜底条款实际上是不了解股东会和董事会功能定位所致，因此需要先对兜底条款作无害化解释，在下次公司法修改时删除。

A Critical Comment on the Miscellaneous Provision on Power of Shareholders' Meeting and Board of Directors

Article 38 which stipulates power of shareholders’ meeting and Article 47 which stipulates power of Board of Directors in the Company Law includes a miscellaneous provision respectively,that is,"other power regulated by the corporate charter".This clause,which was added in the Company Law of 2005,aims to strengthen the autonomy of corporate charter.However,it causes problems instead,such as the blur of power belonging between shareholders’meeting and the board of directors,for lack of understanding the functions of shareholders’meeting and the board of directors.Thus,such miscellaneous provision should be correctly interpreted and had better be deleted during the next revision of the company law.
