Shareholders’ claims for reflective loss, also called indirect claims, are a certain type of shareholder lawsuits in corporate law. Reflective losses are those damages incurred by shareholders of a company in the form of devaluation of their shares resulting from losses sustained by the corporate entity. Whether a shareholder is allowed to seek compensation for such devaluation by bringing a direct action against the wrongdoer is the main question this paper addresses. The article attempts to answer the question in light of corporate law and civil liability principles. In doing so, reflective loss claims are analyzed after a brief review of other types of shareholders’ claims and by reference to common law and civil law jurisprudence. The article also examines feasibility of such claims under Iranian law. The article also reviews the UK Supreme Court’s decision in Sevilleja dated 15 July 2020 as the latest judicial development concerning reflective loss. The article concludes that these damages are barred under major legal systems and also under Iranian law.
