Ray is a shareholder of a small company. When the director falls to undertake an action it falls under derivative suit.

Explanation:

Derivative suit is referred to as a law suit that is brought by the shareholder in behalf of the company against the third party. If in a company the employees, the directors as well as the officers are not ready to file a complain against the third party then the shareholder has the right to file a complaint against the third party. Derivative suit is normally filed by the shareholder when there is a mismanagement in the company. To stop the illegal work this action is being taken.
