A company may petition for itself to be wound up by the court. The same applies to a building society, an incorporated friendly society, a limited liability partnership (LLP), and any other entity that may be wound up as a registered company. A company’s power to petition for its own winding up may be exercised by its directors, at least if the company has passed a special resolution that the company be wound up by the court, that being a circumstance in which the court may make a winding-up order. A petition by a company for its own compulsory winding up will usually rely on the circumstance that a special resolution has been adopted that the company be wound up by the court. When a resolution for compulsory winding up has been adopted, the court retains a discretion whether or not to make a winding-up order.

Nevertheless, due to its prominent closed characteristics, equity transfer has become a bottleneck for the development of LLCs. According to this paper, it is necessary to distinguish between the effectiveness of clauses restricting internal and external equity transfer in articles of association of LLCs. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) is utilized for which involves process of analytic hierarchy modelled with utilizing theory of fuzzy logic. Moreover, instead of being confined to the existing legal norms, the judgment standard of clauses restricting equity transfer in articles of association of LLCs should be comprehensively measured by the golden rules, i.e. “fairness”, “autonomy” and “operability”.

Introduction. Nowadays, the issue of determining the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLC and TDV has become quite acute, as evidenced by the adoption on July 28, 2021 by the Commercial Court of Cassation in Case № 904/1112/20, in which the Court established a new approach legal nature of such a phenomenon and expressed his own position on the understanding of the legislation concerning the legal status of the share of LLC and TDV in its own authorized capital. Given that a limited liability company is the most popular type of legal entity that is chosen to conduct business in Ukraine, the analysis of this issue is relevant. Some scientific value for the development of the transfer of the participant's share are the works of individual authors devoted to the study of the legal nature of the share in the authorized capital but the problems arising around the legal status of the company. in their own authorized capital in these works were only mentioned along with others, but did not receive a detailed separate study. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the normative regulation of the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLCs and ALCs, identification of shortcomings in their legal regulation and implementation, as well as the search for ways to eliminate them. Results. One of the most relevant decisions concerning the subject of this article is the Judgment of the Commercial Court of Cassation in case № 904/1112/20 of July 28, 2021. The court in this case found that the votes attributable to the share belonging to the company itself are not taken into account when determining the results of voting at the general meeting of participants on any issues. However, Ukrainian legislation does not contain any direct norms that would prohibit the exercise of the right to manage a company in relation to itself on the basis of a share in its own authorized capital. That is why the company cannot be a participant in relation to itself, although they seem logical, but do not have sufficient regulatory support, and therefore do not allow to be firmly convinced of their compliance with the law. In view of this, it can be stated that there is a significant gap in the national legislation on this issue, which, in our opinion, the Court failed to “fill” with this decision in the case. Conclusion. In the Ukrainian legislation at the level of the Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies” Article 25 defines the possibility for a company to acquire a share in its own authorized capital. However, the regulation of the legal status of such a share cannot be called sufficient, due to which in practice there are certain problems in the implementation of the provisions of the legislation concerning the share of the company in its own authorized capital. The solution of these legal problems is necessary to ensure the highest quality and clarity of the law, as well as to form case law with common approaches to understanding a single rule.

Perusahaan dapat dibedakan atas perusahaan badan hukum dan perusahaan bukan badan hukum. Di Indonesia, Perusahaan badan hukum dapat berbentuk Perseroan Terbatas (PT), Yayasan dan Koperasi. Sedangkan perusahaan bukan badan hukum dapat berupa Firma (Fa) dan Persekutuan Komanditer atau Comanditaire Vennootschap (CV). Peraturan mengenai bentuk perusahaan persekutuan, firma dan CV terdapat di dalam KUHPer dan KUHD. Sama halnya seperti di Indonesia, bentuk hukum suatu perusahaan Malaysia dapat dikenal dengan beberapa bentuk business entitiy, seperti Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Private Limited Company/SendirianBerhad (Sdn Bhd), dan Public Limited Company/Berhad (Bhd). Beberapa Business Entity yang ada di Malaysia memiliki kemiripan dengan jenis badan usaha yang ada di Indonesia, seperti Partnership atau Perusahaan Persekutuan. Terdapat pula perbedaan antara bentuk dan peraturan yang mengatur perusahaan persekutuan Indonesia dengan perusahaan persekutuan Malaysia. Undang-Undang yang digunakan pun berbeda bagi kedua negara, Partnership diatur dalam Partnership Act 1961 sedangkan untuk Limited Liability Partnership diatur dalam Limited Liability Act 2012. Penelitian hukum ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan komparatif. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang didapat dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan dan dokumen serta diolah dengan melakukan seleksi data secara sistematis untuk mendapatkan gambaran umum dari hasil penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam Partnership mengatur mengenai perusahaan secara tradisional dengan ingin mendapatkan laba atau keuntungan. Sedangkan di dalam LLP menggabungkan antara partnership dan company. Perbedaan bentuk hukum perusahaan persekutuan antara Indonesia dan Malaysia ini juga jelas terlihat jika dilihat dari aturan pada masing-masing negara dimana Indonesia tidak mempunyai undang-undang khusus mengenai bentuk hukum persekutuan ini. Dengan demikian, pemerintah hendaknya membuat sebuah undang-undang yang mengatur mengenai bentuk usaha persekutuan lebih khusus dalam peraturan yang berbeda agar dapat mudah dipahami oleh pelaku usaha seperti peraturan yang berlaku di negara Malaysia.

This chapter discusses the process of registration for the incorporation of companies under the Companies Act 2006. It considers the distinction between private and public companies, the meaning of limited liability and the significant characteristics of the company created by the registration procedure at Companies House, such as a company’s separate corporate personality (which is highly artificial), its members, shareholding, directors, secretary, name, constitution and its registered office and domicile. To deter misuse of companies, the registration process involves disclosing much information about a company which is then available for public inspection. This process of public disclosure continues throughout a company’s existence.
