This article emphasizes on the implication of the doctrine of capital maintenance which means the capital of a company needs to be kept intact for there is a contribution of the creditors and retaining the capital is normally expected to guarantee repayment to the creditors. Any reduction of capital can diminish the liability of members and consequently the position of the creditors can be vulnerable. Therefore, an attempt has been made by this study to reveal the origin, objective and application of the doctrine of capital maintenance to find out a way by which we can save the interest of the creditors as well as satisfy the needs of the modern business.Northern University Journal of Law Vol.IV 2013; p.47-55

This chapter discusses the doctrine of capital maintenance which precludes the return of capital, directly or indirectly, to the shareholders ahead of a winding up of the company. The discussion covers the purchase and redemption of a company’s own shares, reduction of capital, distributions to the members, and financial assistance by a company for the acquisition of its own shares. Purchase and redemption schemes (buy-backs) are common transactions and are discussed in detail as is the procedure for a reduction of capital. The key issue for creditors, however, is the risk posed by distributions to members and much of the chapter is devoted to discussing the distribution rules laid down in CA 2006, Part 23 and the common law. The chapter discusses the rules as to distributable profits and the liability of directors in the case of improper distributions and, in particular, their liability for dividends improperly declared.

This chapter addresses what is known as the capital maintenance doctrine — a series of rules designed to protect the company's creditors by ensuring that capital is maintained and not returned to the company's members. Any limited company can reduce its share capital by passing a special resolution followed by court confirmation. A private company can reduce its share capital by passing a special resolution supported by a solvency statement. On the other hand, public companies are generally prohibited from providing financial assistance to others to acquire their shares. Meanwhile, a company can generally only pay a dividend out of distributable profits. The typical three-stage process for paying dividends is the directors recommend an amount to be distributed by way of dividend; the company declares the dividend by passing an ordinary resolution; and the dividend is paid out.

This chapter discusses doctrine of capital maintenance. The doctrine of capital maintenance is essentially a collection of rules designed to ensure, first, that a company obtains the capital which it has purported to raise; and secondly, that that capital is maintained, subject to the exigencies of the business, for the benefit and protection of the company's creditors and the discharge of its liabilities. In particular, the doctrine of capital maintenance precludes the return of capital, directly or indirectly, to the shareholders ahead of a winding up of the company. The discussions cover the purchase and redemption of a company's own shares; reduction of capital; distributions to the members; and financial assistance by a company for the acquisition of its own shares.

One of the most widespread forms of companies, not only in our, but also in other jurisdictions, are limited liability companies. This form gives clear advantages to its founders, but at the same time endangers the creditor's settlement. In this paper, the author lists and describes the ways of protecting the company's creditors in the German law, namely the creditors of GmbH and the newer UG (Mini-GmbH) with brief reviews of Serbian law and d.o.o. First of all, there is a possible liability of shareholders and directors of German companies in the very stage of establishment. Furthermore, payments to shareholders from the assets that are necessary to cover the share capital are prohibited. In addition to its legal minimum share capital of EUR 25.000, GmbH contains further institutes for adequate creditor protection, which makes it attractive not only to the founders, but also to its creditors. In 2008, with the Law on Modernization of the Rights of Limited Liability Companies and the Fight against Abuses (MoMiG), the German legal system introduced a new legal form of simplified GmbH (UG), which has the same nature with a few special characteristics. This is primarily the possibility of founding a company below the prescribed legal minimum of the share capital, namely 1 Euro. This legal form should be an alternative to the English "Limited", which was "flooding" the German market back then. This advantage brings certain restrictions, first of all in terms of capital maintenance rules. Due to the fact that d.o.o. has significant similarities with the general rules that apply to these legal forms of the German system, primarily due to similarities with UG in the form of a minimum share capital of 100 dinars, the characteristics and solutions of German law for the protection of creditors of this legal form will be analysed. At the end comes a brief review of the institute "piercing a corporate veil" in the German law system.

PT. Duta Nichirindo Pratama is a company engaged in the field of Autoparts Manufacture. Barcode is the identity of an item / product on the package. Barcode technology has been used as the identity of goods in a production. Barcodes are used to facilitate the identification of goods produced. Paste the barcode on the packaging of packaging results at PT. Duta Nichirindo Pratama is done manually, but there are often errors attached to the barcode on a similar packaging. This research will design and create a system based on Visual Basic.Net and Arduino to select barcode attachment errors that have the potential to be sent to consumers. The system is designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, database design and interface menu design. The system created will then be tested to detect the black box test. With a computing-based design system that functions to detect barcodes on the packaging automatically, the problem of sticking barcodes on the packaging can be detected.
