The article is devoted to some moments of revealing the place of corporate control in the system of legal regulation. The author has set the task of identifying related categories and their separation from the subject of the study. The approaches to the definition of corporate control on the grounds of its emergence are singled out, and the differences between the forms of economic dependence are demonstrated. The author came to the conclusion that economic dependence can be characterized by relations between persons, in which the actions of one person can lead to significant losses for the other — dependent person, capable of leading to the cessation of activities or to a significant reduction in economic activity. The article also notes that economic control arises only when the actions of the controlling person may result in the following consequences for the controlled person: (1) substantial losses that may lead to the cessation of the controlled person’s activities or a significant decrease in its volume; (2) inability to expand the scope of activities; (3) loss of shares in equity capital by the controlled company’s shareholders; (4) appointment or resignation of directors or members of the management board of the controlled person. At the same time, the article notes that the degree of influence on a controlled person may vary both in terms of the level of consequences of committing acts (omissions) contrary to the will of the controlling person and the powers within the powers of the latter.
