However, facing the dramatic change of the capital market, a call for an overhaul of the doctrines becomes a hot issue. For example, due to the recession ,the stock prices of some companies have dropped below their par value. According to the Company Law, a company is prohibited from issuing shares at discount. This made those companies encounter the great difficulties of raising capital. As a result of this, the capital expenditure and economic growth are hurt naturally. Applying for bank’s loans is uneasy either. Therefore, it is suggested that the relevant provision of the Company Law should be amended. Based on this argument, the amendment of the Company Law promulgated in November 2001 inserts a proviso to the principle, permitting public companies, authorized by the securities relevant competent authority, to issue shares at discount. Nonetheless, if the maintenance of capital is intended to protect corporate creditors, it is entirely illogical to lift the burden on public companies due to the fact that they have more creditors than non-public companies. The sources for redemption of specific shares are restricted to two means: one is the earnings surplus; the other is the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares. In fact, the redemption of specific shares, the distribution of dividends and the re-purchase of corporate own stocks share same characteristics. All of them are relating to the idea of distributing corporate assets. Our current rules are conservative. Some different approaches, such as focusing on the relationship between cash flow, might be considered in the future. Both the maintenance of capital and the compromised authorized share capital have the same problem, i.e., the means of capital. Cash is the best and clearest mean among all choices. Nonetheless, other money’ worth, goodwill, technical know-how, monetary credit extended to the company all become possible after the amendment. The next issue will be how to assure the correct or reasonable evaluation of these contributions to prevent watering shares. Looking into the British company law legislation, the three legal capital doctrines are not brought about by her needs, but rather from the obligation of implementing European company law Directive, specifically the Second Company Law Directive. This made British system similar to our legal system; some common rules and some discrepancy make this project very interesting. This project at the end proposes some changes to our current company legislation and demonstrate the highly importance of comparative law.application/pdf41177 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學法律學系暨研究所資本三原則資本確定原則折衷授權資本制資本維持原則資本不變原則特別股實收資本額票面額庫藏股減資債權人股東The three legal capital doctrinescompromised authorized share capitalthe maintenance of capitalthe increase or reduction of capitalspecial sharesubscribed share capitalpar-valuetreasury stockthe reduction of capitalcreditorshareholder[SDGs]SDG8資本三原則之檢討-英國法與我國法之比較reporthttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/12883/1/922414H002047.pdf
