DISPUTES within a corporation or between/among corporate entities or persons within a corporate entity are inevitable. These vary and are dependent on who the parties are and their relationships to each other. Generally, the disputes can be classified as either intercorporate or intra-corporate.

An intra-corporate dispute is one that generally arises between a stockholder and the corporation or among stockholders concerning issues revolving around the relationship of the complainant to the corporation or the enforcement of a right under the Revised Corporation Code (RCC).
