belongs to the civil-legal agreements. One of the aspects that should be paid attention to is that if
this corporate contract is considered to have a civil-legal nature, then it is to determine the
position of this contract in the system of civil-legal contracts. It is known that one of the main
classifications of civil legal contracts is based on the principle of "dichotomy". Based on this, the
three most important pairs of contracts are distinguished: one-sided and two-sided, paid and free,
real and consensual. Before determining the position of this or that type of agreement in these
listed pairs, it is necessary to distinguish the obligation arising from the contract. The
implementation of this classification in relation to the corporate contract creates certain
difficulties, because the construction of the usual obligation is manifested in the section of
mutual rights and obligations of the creditor and the debtor.
In its "main" part, the corporate contract includes the obligation to jointly exercise corporate
rights, so we can only talk about the general obligation of all participants, the fulfillment of
which none of the participants has the right to demand against themselves personally. In
addition, the corporate agreement is made to act as a "single agreement" of all parties, not to
satisfy the personal needs of the participant through the actions of the partner. It will be
necessary to solve this non-standard situation and find a place for the corporate contract among
the civil legal agreements.
Most scholars who consider a corporate contract to be a civil contract usually classify this
contract as mutual (bilateral). In particular, V. V. Rublev, [3, 45-55 p] and P. S. Nasten. [4, 61-
68 p] Apparently, this conclusion is based on the majority of the participants of the corporate
agreement. However, the decisive factor in this matter is not the number of participants, but the
mutual obligations arising under the contract. At the same time, the above scholars or other
authors do not indicate what mutual rights and obligations arise for the parties to the corporate
contract.
Another part of the representatives of the scientific community even believes that the corporate
contract does not create a civil obligation due to the special scope of its activity - corporate
relations. Corporate relations are an independent type of private law relations. [5, 526 p] The
relations arising from the corporate contract do not ensure the circulation of goods between the
participants, therefore, there are opinions in the scientific literature that they should be
considered as relative relations not related to obligations. [6, 4-10 p] It has also been argued that
a corporate contract creates a non-proprietary obligation arising from the conclusion of pre-
contractual agreements. [7]
As a corporate contract, as a civil contract, it is possible to clearly see the obligation created by
this contract and, from this, form a certain point of view regarding unilateral obligations and
mutual agreements. In our view, a corporate agreement binds the parties to the exercise of
corporate rights under pre-agreed conditions. It also provides for the condition of the turnover of
shares (shares) under predetermined conditions. The latter obligation is based on the principles
of reciprocity, as it provides for the alienation and acquisition of objects of civil rights. [8]
Determining the nature of the obligation to jointly exercise corporate rights is somewhat
complicated. In this case, it is unlikely that there will be a double obligation, since the voice of
one of the parties to the contract may not correspond to the voice of the other or others. In
addition, the emergence of a unilateral obligation in a corporate contract is also controversial.
Because each of the parties is obliged to vote in a certain way, but in this case it is necessary to
identify the person who has the right to demand it. In other words, it is necessary to determine
the "counterparty" who has the right to demand voting in a certain way, because the obligation
binds certain persons and is therefore called relative. In the absence of a "counterparty", a
corporate contract cannot be called a unilateral obligation or a bilateral obligation.
If we pay attention once again to the issue of the joint exercise of corporate rights - the
obligation created by the corporate contract - we will see that all attempts to find a mutually
