Abstract:     
In this article we research and compare the law and practice of the number of foreign countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, UK and USA) with regard to the amount of damages for which the members of a company’s management organs are liable. The article focuses on the definition of “damages” to the company and judicial application and interpretation of this definition.
