On the essence of «property – non-property character» «personal – non-personal character» and «organizational character» of corporate relations

Abstract

Nowadays there is no clear classification of corporate relations in jurisprudence and legislation. Depending on the component object of corporate relations are divided into property and non-property. The basis of this division we assign their content part – the rights that are divided into property and non-property. Although there is no general recognition of the stated classification in legal literature, because along with property corporate rights, many scholars suggest to study the organizational rights and, consequently, organizational corporate relations.

The construction of organizational relations within civil law is criticized. The author supports these criticisms because scholars, who recognize the parallel existence of property and organizational relations, do not consider secondary importance (complementary character) of the latter.

Special attention is paid to the fact that even a clear definition of dividing corporate relations into property and non-property does not provide an accurate idea about their characteristics, because the legal community has no single approach on this issue, too. In particular, it is stated that corporate relations have only non-property or exclusively property nature.

The content of corporate relations constitute property and non-property rights that have between them a distinctive and independent nature. Hence, corporate relations are a separate group of private relationships regulated by the norms of corporate law that can not be characterized solely as property or non-property, but have civil and legal nature according to their compliance with all the features of civil relations. As a result, there is a need to include corporate relations along with personal non-property and property into the subject of civil law regulation that makes it possible to admit the existence of two types of corporate rights: property and non-property. Under these circumstances dichotomous combination of the types of corporate relations, depending on the component object to property and non-property is appropriate.
