摘　　要：英国的派生诉讼起源于普通法,"福斯诉哈尔波特"案件及其后来的判例中所创立的规则及其例外,成为普通法上派生诉讼的基本规则。成文法从1948年《公司法》开始引入股东救济制度,并逐步形成1985年《公司法》上的派生诉讼制度。由于普通法和成文法貌似相同的两套规则导致了法律的模糊和不确定性,英国政府对派生诉讼制度进行了改革,并在2006年新公司法中形成了新的派生诉讼制度。与原有的规则相比,新的派生诉讼程序实现了更现代、更灵活和更易于理解的改革目的。In the UK,derivative action can be traced back to the common law. The rule of Foss v. Harbottle and rules established in cases thereafter as well as the exceptions became the basic rules of derivative actions in the common law. The system of shareholder remedies was introduced into the Companies Act 1948 ,and gradually shaped the system of derivative action in the Companies Act 1985. Due to the confusion and uncertainty of laws caused by the seemingly identical rules contained in the common law and statutory law,the UK government reformed the system of derivative action and established a new system in the Companies Act 2006. Compared with the old rules,the new derivative action procedure has realized the goal of the reform,thus becoming more modernization-oriented,flexible,and easy to understand.
