中国《证券法》在借鉴域外证券集团诉讼构造的基础上,规定由投资者保护机构作为诉讼代表人,按照“默示加入”“明示退出”的原则,依法为证券虚假陈述等受害投资者提起民事损害赔偿诉讼,由此形成了具有中国特色的证券纠纷特别代表人诉讼制度。2021年11月12日,广州中院对康美药业虚假陈述民事赔偿案作出一审判决。投服中心代表的52037名投资者共获赔约24。59亿元。康美药业案是中国首起证券虚假陈述民事赔偿特别代表人诉讼案件,也是迄今为止法院审理的原告人数最多、赔偿金额最高的上市公司虚假陈述民事赔偿案件。该案的判决,是中国资本市场法治建设的重要里程碑,具有重大的示范意义。该案的整个诉讼模式,业已成为检验中国证券纠纷特别代表人诉讼规则的经典范例,体现了基于中国市场实践对构建中国特色投资者保护制度的积极探索。但就目前的考察来看,中国证券纠纷特别代表人诉讼制度也存在值得思考和改进的空间。
<<On the basis of learning from the structure of foreign securities group litigation,China’s Securities Law stipulates that the investor protection institution shall act as the litigation representative and institute civil damage compensation litigation for the injured investors in securities tort cases such as Securities Misrepresentation in accordance with the principles of “Express Out and Implied to Join”,thus forming the litigation system of securities special representative with Chinese characteristics. On November 12,2021,Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court made a judgment of first instance on the civil compensation case of Securities Misrepresentation of Kangmei Pharmaceutical CO.,LTD. 52037 investors represented by the investor services center are supported a total compensation of about 2.459 billion Yuan. Kangmei pharmaceutical case is the first litigation case of special representative action for civil compensation for Securities Misrepresentation in China. It is also the civil compensation case of misrepresentation of listed companies with the largest number of plaintiffs and the highest amount of compensation heard by the court so far. The judgment of the case is an important milestone in the construction of the rule of law in China’s capital market and has great demonstration significance. The whole litigation mode of the case has become a classic example to test the litigation rules of China’s securities special representative action,which reflects the active exploration of constructing the investor protection system with Chinese characteristics based on China’s market practice. However,according to the current investigation,there is also room for deliberation and improvement in the litigation system of securities special representative action in China.
