The place of the concept of affiliated persons in the system of related concepts

This study raises important issues of the place of the concept of affiliation in the system of such related concepts as the connectedness, controlling person, the dependent person, interest in transaction, the group of persons, and interdependence. The possibility of use of the norms of antimonopoly and tax legislation are examined on the examples of arbitrary and corporate practice, within the corporate relations when contesting transaction with the interested people, as well as the use of specified norms within the civil and corporate relations between legal entities, shareholders (participants) and other persons concerned. Conclusions are made regarding necessity of revision of the current norms in order to specify provisions under consideration and generalization of related concepts and bases for connected persons as related for reducing disputes; new methodology of defining persons relations is proposed and their new classification is determined.
