Abstract

Various Latvian legal scholars have provided different opinions as to the legal substance of 3 month period time limit, provided in the paragraph 6, article 172 of Latvian Commercial Law. The present article is intended as a discussion with authors – Professor Jānis Kārkliņš, Mg. iur., Dr. iur. cand. Edijs Brants and Mg. iur., Dr. iur. cand. Evija Novicāne, who have provided the opinion that the said time limit is set only in order to discipline representatives of a company to file a claim against members of management or supervisory board, shareholders or auditor in due time. In author’s opinion, the failure to file the said claim within specified time limit precludes a company from further legal proceedings against the said defendants.
