The Limitation of the Right of Inspection in the Closed Company

In corporate law, the right of inspection is understood as the power of the shareholders to examine the books and papers of the company, in order to find out about the administrative, financial, accounting and legal situation of the company, which is an issue of great importance for minority shareholders, given the high concentration of capital that Colombian companies face. This concentration of capital has led this paper to analyse the problem of agency from a different perspective to that used by Berle and Means in 1932, which at the time was the relationship between the partners and the administrators, and now is the convergence of the interests of the majority and minority partners.
