  • Interpretation
  • No.81【Under Translation】
  • Date
  • 1958/12/17
  • Issue
    • Shall a member of the Control Yuan serve concurrently as a director, supervisor and manager of a privately owned enterprise?
  • Holding
    •        The corporate affairs carried out by directors, supervisors and managers of a privately owned enterprise shall fall within the scope of business administration referred to in Article 103 of the Constitution.
  • Reasoning
    •        Article 103 of the Constitution specifically provides that a member of the Control Yuan can not serve concurrently as a member of the Control Yuan and a civil servant or business administrator. The reason for prohibiting a member of the Control Yuan from serving concurrently as a member of the Control Yuan and a civil servant or business administrator is that a member of the Control Yuan should remain impartial (unprejudiced) in exercising his or her power of supervision. A restriction is thus imposed upon the members of the Control Yuan. Directors, supervisors and managers of a privately owned enterprise are persons who administer the corporate affairs of the enterprise. The corporate affairs carried out by directors, supervisors and managers of a privately owned enterprise are in conflict with the power of supervision exercised by a member of the Control Yuan. Therefore, the corporate affairs administered by directors, supervisors and managers of a privately owned enterprise shall fall within the business administration restriction imposed upon a member of the Control Yuan under Article 103 of the Constitution.
