FAQ :
A derivative action is a lawsuit initiated by a shareholder on behalf of a corporation to address a legal claim or right that the corporation itself has failed to pursue, usually against its own officers or directors.
A shareholder files a derivative action when the company's board of directors or management, due to personal interests or other reasons, neglects their fiduciary duties and fails to take legal action to protect the company's interests against wrongdoers.
Defendants in a derivative action are usually insiders of the corporation, such as directors, management, or other shareholders, who are alleged to have engaged in fraud, mismanagement, self-dealing, or dishonesty that harms the company.
If a derivative action is successful, any proceeds or remedies awarded are given to the corporation itself, not to the individual shareholder(s) who initiated the lawsuit.
Derivative actions can be filed in cases of fraud, ultra vires acts, serious irregularities in board meetings, sale of assets at undervalue, diversion of company funds, improper loans to related parties, or breach of duty by directors and management.
