Business disputes
Business disputes are an expression of conflict situations that occur among market operators in the pursuit of economic activity. These may occur either due to a breach of a contractual obligation between business subjects, factual or legal defects in compliance, infringement of copyright, competition law, intellectual property rights, and other cases.
Business conflicts also arise as a result of conflicts within a company itself, between the members, whether owners or shareholders or other management and control bodies. The most common are disputes over non-compliance and violations of company acts (annual report, resolutions of the general meeting, resolution on the use of accumulated profit, resolution on increase in share capital …). Last but not least, issues relating to minority shareholders are a matter of concern in joint stock companies – the exclusion and withdrawal of minority shareholders from the company and their rights (appointment of a special auditor, appointment of an extraordinary auditor, enforcement of compensation claims by the company or actio pro social).
According to World Bank statistics, the business dispute in Slovenian courts lasts for more than three years, or more precisely 1160 days, almost twice as much as in other developed OECD countries – 578 days.
