Abstract (Swedish)
I denna uppsats undersöker jag problemet med bolagskapning och till viss del hur detta reflekterar det underliggande problemet med Bolagsverkets system för registrering av bolagsuppgifter med syfte att förstå problemet och identifiera lösningsmöjligheter inom gällande rätt samt nytillkomna lagändringar.
För att förstå problemet med bolagskapning lyfter jag fram tidningsartiklar och statistiska undersökningar, vilka visar att bolagskapning är ett problem som drabbar endast ett fåtal bolag varje år, men trots detta är oron för bolags- kapning utbredd bland företagare.
För att komma fram till svar på mina frågeställningar studerar jag den gällande lagstiftningen, inklusive de nya bestämmelser som tillkommit i närtid, samt den proposition... (More)

För att komma fram till svar på mina frågeställningar studerar jag den gällande lagstiftningen, inklusive de nya bestämmelser som tillkommit i närtid, samt den proposition och utredning som låg till grund för de nya bestämmelserna. Utifrån dessa källor redogör jag att det finns flera lösningar som är reaktiva respektive förebyggande.
Jag beskriver också lite om balansen mellan å ena sidan det enskilda bolagets styrelses ansvar för att skydda bolaget mot bolagskapningar, och å andra sidan Bolagsverkets ansvar för att skydda bolag inom ramen för sin kontrollerande roll.
Mina slutsatser var att bolagskapning påvisar en brist i Bolagsverkets system för registrering av bolagsuppgifter som utnyttjas även i fall av mindre dokumenterade typer av exploatering. Jag kom fram till att de lagändringar jag undersökt har öppnat upp för fler möjligheter för Bolagsverket att anta åtgärder mot bolagskapningar och även annan exploatering av deras system, då de olika typerna av exploatering utnyttjar systemet på liknande sätt.

Abstract
In this essay, I examine the issue with the hijacking of corporations and, in part, how this reflects the underlying problem with the system for registration of corporation details of the Swedish Companies Registration Office, with the objective of understanding the issue and identifying possible solutions within the existing legislation as well as recently implemented changes of the legislation.
To understand the problem with the hijacking of corporations, I bring up newspaper articles and statistical surveys, which show that corporate hijacking only affects a limited number of companies each year, but that in spite of this, the concern for corporate hijacking is widespread among business owners.
To find the answers for my research... (More)

To understand the problem with the hijacking of corporations, I bring up newspaper articles and statistical surveys, which show that corporate hijacking only affects a limited number of companies each year, but that in spite of this, the concern for corporate hijacking is widespread among business owners.
To find the answers for my research questions, I study the existing legislation, including the recently implemented changes of the legislation, as well as the government bill and the government-conducted investigation that served as a base for the new paragraphs in the law. Based on these sources, I explain that there are multiple solutions that are reactive as well as preventative.
I also describe, in short, the balance between, on one hand, the responsibility of the boards of individual corporations to protect the corporation from corporate hijacking, and on the other hand, the responsibility of the Swedish Companies Registration Office to protect companies within its supervisory role.
My conclusions were that the hijacking of corporations highlights a flaw in the system for registration of corporation details of the Swedish Companies Registration Office which is utilized even in cases of less documented forms of exploitation. I found that the changes of the legislation that I have examined have created more opportunities for the Swedish Companies Registration Office to take measures against the corporate hijacking and also other forms of exploitation of their system, as the different types of exploitation make use of the system in similar ways.
