Claims for disqualification from voting as per the law on procedures for foreign investments in the business entities of strategic importance

The author focuses on studying the claims for disqualifying the foreign investors from voting at the meeting of shareholders (participants) of a business entity of strategic importance. This category of claims, which is not so common in Russian legal practice, is increasingly used in connection with exercising control over foreign investments by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia in strategic sectors of the economy. Based on the analysis of the current legislation and existing doctrinal approaches, the conclusion is made about the priority of the judicial procedure for disqualifying the foreign investors from voting at the meeting. The ways are proposed to eliminate the offense after the court has taken the decision on disqualifying from voting.
