This article delves into the dual-track regulation governing the statute of limitations for damages claims against members of management and supervisory bodies, as prescribed by Article 263 of the Slovenian Companies Act (ZGD-1). The inquiry begins with a review of the legislative trajectory of this provision, with particular attention to the underlying rationale for introducing an additional ten-year limitation period applicable to companies operating under the predominant influence of the state or local authorities. To provide a broader perspective, the analysis situates the Slovenian framework within a comparative context, drawing parallels to the analogous provision in Germany’s Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The German approach justifies the extended limitation period by referencing the distinctive complexity of public joint-stock companies and the inherent challenges associated with detecting harmful conduct and pursuing legal remedies. In addressing these issues, the article underscores critical legal ambiguities, particularly concerning the temporal threshold at which a company must satisfy the criterion of predominant state influence to activate the prolonged limitation period.
