PROTECTION OF RIGHTS OF INVESTORS ON SECURITIES MARKET

The securities market is an integral part of the financial market where operations of purchase and sale of securities.

The securities market in Russia still has a fairly complete legal framework, organizational and informational structure.

Note that the essential problem of the Russian securities market is the lack of adequate numbers of highly qualified specialists who would be able to provide efficient work of subjects of the securities market, such as investment companies, stock exchanges, OTC trading system of securities information, consulting and analytical organizations and departments, mediation, and efficient brokerage structure.

As for the protection of investors on the securities market, it should be noted that, by itself, the investment relationship are a type of private legal relationship, and so it bears all the hallmarks of civil law relations. Therefore, the ways of protection of rights of investors on securities market are the same as for other civil law relations.

The main form of production for the protection of the rights of investors in the securities market is the proceedings, as in civil and arbitration process. Most disputes of this category within the jurisdiction of arbitration courts.

If we turn to the proprietary methods of protection, here the owner of securities is strictly opposed to definitely an obligated person Issuer. Therefore, the rights of holders of the securities, such certificated securities may be waived by the Issuer and must be protected from violations on the part of the person.

More complicated is the situation with the protection of the rights of owners of securities of securities as an object of law. The right to security is absolute and therefore can disrupt an indefinite circle of people. as certificated securities are things, therefore, the right way to protect proprietary methods and, above all, the vindication production (i.e., by reclamation from another’s adverse possession). Although there can be some difficulties. For example, if certificated securities are registered, the account of them being either in the registry or in the Depository. Be transferred such securities can only be in the order of transfer and, accordingly, to request the certificate for such certificated securities may only the person named in the register of holders of registered securities or the Depository. The use of vindication in the field of securities is fairly limited as to vindicate only certificated securities which are bearer shares, the vindication of which is from a bona fide purchaser is prohibited by law.
