Peculiarities of consideration of corporate disputes on exclusion of members from the membership of a company

The author addresses the peculiarities of corporate disputes on the exclusion of participants from the company as the most complex issue in the Russian law enforcement practice, since in each case the courts assess the significance of the circumstances that the plaintiff refers to as a basis for the exclusion of the participant from the society. The article analyses court practice of consideration of this type of corporate disputes, reveals the grounds for exclusion of a participant from the company by the example of limited liability companies and also marks out the peculiarities of consideration of corporate disputes on exclusion of participants from the company. It is concluded that each corporate dispute is unique and the choice of such special corporate method of protection of the company’s rights as the exclusion of the participant, often does not restore violated rights and legitimate interests of the company. In this case, despite the fact that a number of issues in the framework of corporate law remains unresolved, we can talk about the formation of a stable judicial practice on the consideration of this category of disputes, which is due to the importance and effectiveness of the legal positions expressed by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Consequences of the parties recognition of the civil cases circumstances and the conclusion of agreements regarding the circumstances of the case in the arbitration process

The article attempts to answer the question of whether a party that has made a recognition or entered into an agreement on the circumstances of the case can refuse these procedural actions. According to the results of the study, the author concludes that after the acceptance of the party recognition by the court, the burden of proving the indisputable circumstance is redistributed: the court proceeds in its activities from the assumption that this fact exists; the party that bases its demands or objections on it no longer proves it; but the admitted party is not deprived of the opportunity to present evidence to refute the confession.

The article concludes that it is possible and necessary to appeal the rulings on the acceptance of the refusal of the claim by interested parties in the framework of the bankruptcy case, as well as the inadmissibility of identifying the procedural institution of the refusal of the claim with the concept of the transaction, in its classical sense.
