There are some general considerations which may be useful in attempting to understand the attitude of the legislator and the judge to the problem of the company minority. The question of minority rights has in general received much more attention in public law than it has in connection with limited companies. The development of principles and institutions for the protection of the political, racial or ethnic minority has no counterpart in the field of company law. In certain democratic states we now have in proportional representation, for example, a technique for stressing minority representation. One hardly finds trace of such emphasis in the commercial law.
