SHARE TRANSFER. THE LEGAL NATURE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS’ REGISTER

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the legal regime of share transfer within joint-stock companies, with particular emphasis on the moment at which ownership of shares is transferred, the legal nature of the shareholders’register, and the legal effects of entries made therein. The study is prompted by a specific case pending before the courts, in which the legality of amendments made by a company director in the shareholders’register was challenged, following the registration of a share transfer and a subsequent reversal of that operation.
