The withdrawal of a participant from an LLC obliges the company to pay the actual value of the share. 

But not always the participant and the company are ready to part company peacefully: at the height of a corporate conflict, payment is sometimes refused. 

The former founder of a company may find himself in a difficult situation when the withdrawal from the company has already been formalised, and the remaining participants, who have access to management and internal documentation, refer to non-payment of the share. 

One such case was considered by the Economic Collegium in November.
