Can a company managing partner remove himself from the management position?
Q: I am a partner in a restaurant with a 20% stake and the remaining divided equally between 2 other partners. I have been made the managing partner to run the place. I would like to resign from the position as all responsibility has been put on me. I am not being paid for my time and efforts as a managing partner. I don`t have any signing authority with banks and because of my position, all legal onus has been put on me. They are refusing to put money into the business and as it`s a new business, the initial financial support is missing which is dragging down the business. In this situation, I am feeling overwhelmed and distressed because I know without the influx required for marketing, the business will not grow to become sustainable. And without any compensation coming from the company, I cannot survive. So I would like to remove myself from the managing partner position. How can I do that? Questions & Answers

How to combat a court judgement in favor of client for incurred losses
Q: We had a commercial case from our client after he breached the agreed completion period. He claimed more than what he has paid as an advance and we have proved that the work is done close to the advance received. The court has given the judgement to pay back part of the advance received against the work completed but we are not happy with the judgement as we have incurred losses due to the extended execution period. During the court sessions, we have defended ourselves for the claims made by the client and we haven`t been to the court of cassation. Referring to the res judicata, can we open a new case for the damages incurred along with the loss of profit for the termination of the contract as he delayed the project beyond the agreed execution period? We have even delivered the required materials to the site for execution. He has blocked our license and in the interim, can we request the court to settle the payment to the client in small monthly instalments? Questions & Answers
