See Harold Marsh,supra n.14,at 36—39.但是,对此也有持相反的观点的,例如美国Norwood P.Beveridge教授就认为在1880年以前美国普通法对待董事利益冲突交易的态度并非是“绝对的可撤销规则”;相反,即使是在普通法背景下,也从来没有这样一个严格的规则说利害关系董事交易是被禁止的。See Norwood P.Beveridge,Jr.,Interested Director Contracts at Common Law—validation at the Doctrine of Constructive Fraud,33Loy.L.A.L.Rev.97(1999).

自从ALI发布Principles之后,美国公司法学界也有学者不断质疑Principles,尤其认为Principles中关于受信义务部分的规定与美国现行
公司法不符。See John F..Johnston & Frederick H.Alexander,The Effect of Disinterested Director Approval of Conflict Transactions under the ALI Corporate Governance Project——A Practitioner’s Perspective,48 Bus.Law.1393(1993).甚至有学者直接抨击道:“‘公平交易义务’一语是一个不幸的失败,因为非受信义务人也会有善意和公平交易的义务,但却不一定负有受信人之忠实义务。用同一个语词来形容两个完全不同的义务.只是徒增费解而已。”See Norwood P.Beveridge,Jr.,The Corporate Directo’s Fiduciary Duty of Loyalty:Understanding the Self—Interested Director Transaction ,41 DePaul L.Rev.655,656(1992).
