THE INFLUENCE OF THE GERMAN LAW ON THE CREATION OF THE CROATIAN COMPANY LAW
Jakša Barbić
Abstract
The creation of the Croatian company law is considered. The historical survey of the development of company law in Croatia is given. The period in former Yugoslavia when company law as such has been abandoned and the new types of legal persons unknown to other legal systems introduced is pointed out. Therefore the Croatian company law has been created as a completely knew one and not by developing some already existing legal rules. The grounds for the creation of the Croatian company law according to the German model are presented. The basic features of the Croatian company law and their comparison with features of the relevant German law are considered. It is pointed out that after a decade of its implementation the Croatian company law has been largely amended. An opinion is expressed that after the Croatian company law will be fully adapted to the relevant European acquis communautaire its development in the future will be moderate and in line with the future new secondary sources of the European company law.
