In general, directors may be removed by a vote of shareholders. Under the ROC Corporation Law, however, a court can also remove directors for cause in a suit by a designated percentage of shareholders. Such shareholders often petition for temporary suspension in order to mitigate damages or avoid future losses while suing for removal. In practice, though, the aforesaid measures are usually taken to change the power structures in a battle for corporate control. To prevent the abuse of power by controlling shareholders, the ROC Corporation Law provides for courts' removal of directors for fraud, gross incompetence, or dishonesty so that controlling shareholders cannot block the removal of incompetent directors. Corporate governance will not be enhanced, however, unless the following requirements are met. First, the directors are the ones hat actually possess management~ powers. Owing to the nominee device under the ROC Corporation Law, directors of Taiwanese corporations are often dummies of controlling shareholders. Therefore, even though the directors are removed by courts, the corporate power structure will remain un- changed. Secondly, the courts may only remove directors for cause, and unless the problem of information asymmetry can be solved, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for an outsider-shareholder to establish such cause. Third, and lastly, under the ROC Corporation Law, an outsider-shareholder must meet certain procedural requirements be- fore he or she may sue for removal of directors. Such procedural requirements result in unnecessary' delay and provide the directors (or controlling shareholders) room for manipulation. Suits for courts' removal hence become both time-consuming and costly, an unattractive option for minority shareholders. The procedural requirements need be abolished if one wishes to improve corporate governance through courts' removal of incompetent directors. Due to the reasons mentioned above, an outsider-shareholder usually lacks both incentives and resources to file suits for courts' removal of directors. Such suits then become common practice in battle for corporate control, especially in the case of divided board. In order to expedite the process of control change, actions for removal of directors of the opposing camp are usually initiated, followed by petition for temporary suspension of such directors. As courts are inclined not to review the merits of such actions, but only require that the petitioner provide security against possible damages, the one that possesses sufficient re- sources (not good causes) will succeed in suspending the opponents' directory powers, and ultimately prevail in the power battle. This paper will explore the numerous problems involving actions for courts' removal and suspension of directors.
