About this data
The ease of shareholder suits index measures how likely plaintiffs are to access internal corporate evidence. It has six components: (i) whether shareholders owning 10% of the company’s share capital have the right to inspect the Buyer-Seller transaction documents before filing a suit; (ii) whether shareholders owning 10% of the company’s share capital can request that a government inspector investigate the Buyer-Seller transaction without filing a suit; (iii) what range of documents is available to the shareholder plaintiff from the defendant and witnesses during trial; (iv) whether the plaintiff can obtain categories of relevant documents from the defendant without identifying each document specifically; (v) whether the plaintiff can directly examine the defendant and witnesses during trial (0-2); and (vi) whether the standard of proof for civil suits is lower than that for criminal cases. The index is computed based on the methodology in the DB06-14 studies.
