On the Nature of an Enterpreneur's Debt Towards a Silent Partner in the Case of Termination of a Company

Abstract

The paper deals with the nature of an enterpreneur's debt towards a silent partner in the case of termination of a company. The author concludes that, in the case of termination of a company, the silent partner hols a pecuniary claim which is determined by the silent partners' contribution as well as any share of loss or unpaid share of profit.

However, the generally dispositive character of legislation allows deviating from the legal rules.
