On the rights of former members of business companies to receive information about their activities

Abstract

On November 15, 2023, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation approved the “Generalization of judicial practice on corporate disputes on the provision of information by business companies.” In one of its points, attention was drawn to the need to clarify the position on the issue of the possibility of requesting information from the society by its former participants. The scope of rights retained by former participants in relation to business companies from which they left, were excluded or left for other reasons, in itself is of undoubted interest. Such rights cannot be unlimited and must ensure the property interest of former participants.
