Title Directors' Liability under Slovak and U.S. Law: a Comparative Analysis
Summary This thesis analyzes duties and liability of corporate director’s that stem from their unique position in the company. Focus is on two main director’s duties, namely the duty of care and the duty of loyalty, which are compared under the U.S. and Slovak law.
The thesis will also examine the methods that are used in order to limit or eliminate the liability of the director’s, mainly focusing on the protection provided by the business judgment rule and limitation of liability by statutes under the American law; and on the different methods recognized by the Slovak law.
Attention will be also directed to the possibilities provided by both systems for enforcement of director’s fiduciary duties, focusing mainly on the comparison of differences and similarities of derivative suits.
