Member vs. Company Disputes in Vietnamese LLCs: A Golden Share of Problems 💥


Etymology Corner 🔍

The word "dispute" comes from the Latin "disputare," which combines "dis" (apart) and "putare" (to reckon, consider) – literally meaning "to think differently." And when company members and their LLC think differently about profit distribution... well, that's when the legal fireworks begin! 💥

When Company Members and LLCs Don't See Eye to Eye 👁️👁️

Hello, legal enthusiasts! 👋 Today we're diving into the fascinating world of disputes between members and their Limited Liability Companies in Vietnam. Specifically, we'll examine a high-profile case that reached the Ho Chi Minh City High Court in April 2024, which perfectly illustrates how these corporate family feuds play out in the legal arena. Let's get our business hats on! 🎩



The Case in a Nutshell 🥜

Imagine this scenario: A profitable company decides to withhold dividends from just one member while distributing them to others. Money problems? Corporate revenge? Let's find out what happened in this corporate soap opera! 🍿

The key players:

  • Kim Gold (plaintiff): A 33% shareholder in ABC LLC
  • ABC LLC (defendant): A multi-member limited liability company
  • Van Blake: Chairman of the Members' Council holding 40% shares
  • Henry Ha: Legal representative of ABC LLC

The dispute centered around ABC LLC's refusal to distribute profits to Kim Gold for five months (September 2022 to January 2023) despite distributing them to other members, with the company claiming various debts and financial obligations as justification.

First Instance Judgment: Victory for the Shareholder! 👨‍⚖️

In August 2023, the Dong Nai Provincial Court ruled in favor of Kim Gold, ordering:

  • ABC LLC to pay Kim Gold 1.32 billion VND in withheld profits
  • Recognition that the company had violated the agreement made during the March 10, 2020 Members' Council meeting

The court rejected ABC LLC's arguments that its outstanding debts justified withholding profits from this specific member while distributing them to others.

The Appeal: Both Sides Unhappy! 📣

Both parties appealed the first instance judgment:

  • Kim Gold wanted more money, requesting an additional month's profit (February 2023) for a total of 1.584 billion VND
  • ABC LLC wanted the entire judgment overturned, arguing that its substantial debts legally prevented profit distribution

The Final Verdict: Status Quo Wins! ⚖️

On April 11, 2024, the Ho Chi Minh City High Court upheld the original judgment, finding:

  • The March 10, 2020 Members' Council meeting minutes showed all members agreed to distribute profits
  • ABC LLC couldn't selectively withhold profits from just one member while paying others
  • Kim Gold's request for additional months' profits was improper as it exceeded the original claim
  • Despite ABC LLC's debt situation, the selective withholding of profits from only certain members was discriminatory

The verdict: The Ho Chi Minh City High Court maintained the first instance judgment, ordering ABC LLC to pay Kim Gold 1.32 billion VND in profits.

 Member vs. LLC Disputes in Vietnam 📊



What Is a Member vs. LLC Dispute? 🤔

According to Article 30.4 of Vietnam's 2015 Civil Procedure Code, these are disputes between a company and its members concerning:

  • Company formation (capital contributions, founding documents)
  • Operations (management, profit distribution, information access)
  • Structural changes (mergers, divisions, conversions)
  • Asset transfers
  • Dissolution or liquidation

For multi-member LLCs specifically (governed by Article 46.1 of the 2020 Enterprise Law), these companies have 2-50 members who are liable only to the extent of their capital contributions.

Key Legal Principles from the Case 📝

  1. Equal treatment of members: Companies cannot selectively distribute profits to some members while withholding from others without legitimate legal basis.
  2. Members' Council decisions: Properly documented decisions of the Members' Council regarding profit distribution are binding, even if not formalized as a Resolution.
  3. Debt limitations: While companies with substantial debts may have restrictions on profit distribution, these must be applied equally to all members.
  4. Procedural limits: Parties cannot expand their claims during appeals beyond what was originally requested.

Real-Life Examples of Member-LLC Disputes 🏢

  1. The Silent Treatment 🤫 Mr. Tran, a 15% owner of a food processing LLC, was denied access to financial records for three years while other members received regular reports. The court ordered full disclosure and damages for the information blackout.
  2. The Undervalued Exit 💸 Ms. Nguyen wanted to sell her 25% stake in a tech company, but the company offered only 40% of market value. The court appointed an independent appraiser and ordered a fair-market buyout.
  3. The Expanding Scope 📏 A construction company member sued for his share of profits from 2021, then tried to expand his claim to include 2022 profits during the proceedings. Like in our featured case, the court limited recovery to the original claim period.

Did You Know? 🤔

  • Multi-member LLCs in Vietnam must hold at least one Members' Council meeting annually, regardless of whether there are pressing issues to discuss! 📅
  • A member holding just 10% of an LLC's capital can request a special Members' Council meeting! 🗣️
  • Written resolutions require a higher approval threshold (65%) than in-person meeting decisions (normally 51%)! ✍️
  • Members who don't attend meetings for two consecutive years without valid reasons can lose their voting rights! 😲
  • Unlike shareholders in public companies, LLC members typically have preemptive rights when other members sell their stakes! 🛒

The Natural Law Comparison: Corporate Beehives 🐝

The relationship between company members and their LLC mirrors bee colonies in fascinating ways:

  • Resource allocation: Just as worker bees expect their share of honey, company members expect their share of profits
  • Decision-making: Queen bees (like chairpersons) have influence but still need colony consensus for major decisions
  • Contribution expectations: All bees must contribute to the hive's success, just as all members must fulfill capital obligations
  • Expulsion mechanisms: Both beehives and LLCs have ways to remove non-contributing or disruptive members

The key difference? Bees rarely sue each other over honey distribution! They've evolved more efficient dispute resolution mechanisms than our legal system! 🍯

Tips for Avoiding Member-LLC Disputes 💡

  1. Draft comprehensive corporate documents: Ensure your company charter, members' agreements, and internal regulations clearly address profit distribution, information rights, and exit procedures.
  2. Document all major decisions: Keep detailed minutes of all Members' Council meetings and convert important decisions into formal Resolutions.
  3. Maintain transparent financials: Regular, clear financial reporting to all members can prevent suspicion and information-based disputes.
  4. Establish valuation methods in advance: Agree how company and share values will be calculated for transfers or buyouts before disputes arise.
  5. Create a dispute resolution ladder: Include multi-step dispute resolution procedures starting with negotiation, then mediation, before resorting to courts.
  6. Apply rules consistently: As seen in the Kim Gold case, selective application of rules to different members is a recipe for legal challenges.

Test Your Knowledge: Member-LLC Dispute Quiz! 📝

  1. According to Vietnam's Enterprise Law, how many members can a multi-member LLC have? a) 1-20 b) 2-30 c) 2-50 d) 3-100
  2. What percentage of capital contribution allows a member to request a special Members' Council meeting? a) 5% b) 10% c) 25% d) 33%
  3. In the Kim Gold case, what was the court's position on selective profit distribution? a) It's permitted if most members agree b) It's never permitted under any circumstances c) It's allowed if the company has outstanding debts d) It's not permitted without equal treatment of all members
  4. What document proved crucial to Kim Gold's victory in court? a) The Company Charter b) The Enterprise Registration Certificate c) The Members' Council meeting minutes d) The annual financial statement

(Answers: 1-c, 2-b, 3-d, 4-c)

The Takeaway: Clear Rules Make Happy Business Partners! 📋

The Kim Gold vs. ABC LLC case teaches us that consistency and transparency are crucial in company governance. When companies make agreements about profit distribution, they must apply them equally to all members or risk costly legal battles.

As Vietnam's business landscape continues to mature, properly documenting company decisions and treating all members according to agreed rules will prevent unnecessary disputes and keep companies focused on business rather than courtroom drama.

When Can Land Use Rights Certificates Be Revoked in Vietnam? A 2025 Guide 📜✂️


Etymology Corner 🔍

The word "revocation" comes from the Latin "revocare," meaning "to call back" or "recall." Just like the ancient Romans could summon back their decrees, modern governments can recall documents that grant property rights when circumstances dictate!

Land Rights in Vietnam: The Plot Thickens! 🧩

Hello, legal adventurers! 👋 Today we're diving into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) world of land rights certificates in Vietnam. Specifically, we'll unpack a recent high-profile case that reached the Hanoi High Court in September 2024, which perfectly illustrates when these precious documents can be revoked. Grab your legal magnifying glass - we're about to investigate! 🕵️‍♀️

The Case in a Nutshell 🥜

Picture this: A family dispute over inherited land that had been brewing for decades finally erupted when one brother discovered his sibling had obtained a land use certificate for their parents' property without the knowledge or consent of other heirs. Talk about a family dinner conversation-starter! 😬

The key players:

  • Robert Dao (plaintiff): The eldest brother who discovered the certificate
  • Richard Dao: Brother who obtained the certificate in 1997
  • Susan (Richard's wife): Current occupant of the disputed property
  • Claire & Diana: Sisters who supported Robert's claim
  • Haiphong District Committee: The administrative body that issued the certificate

The case centered around a 990m² plot of land, comprising three separate parcels (identified as parcels #19, #20, and #21). While parcels #19 and #21 were purchased by Richard, parcel #20 (660m²) was the ancestral property left by the parents, who passed away in 1989 and 1996 respectively, without leaving a will.

First Instance Judgment: Case Dismissed! 👨‍⚖️

In March 2024, the Haiphong City Court rejected Robert's request to invalidate the certificate, concluding that:

  • The certificate was issued according to the 1993 Land Law procedures
  • There was evidence of stable land use by Richard
  • The certificate was properly registered in the land registry
  • Too much time had passed since its issuance in 1997

Robert and his siblings weren't happy with this result (understatement of the year!), so they filed an appeal faster than you can say "land dispute"! 🏃‍♂️💨



The Appeal: Plot Twist! 📣

On September 30, 2024, the Hanoi High Court took a different view! 🔄 After carefully examining the evidence, the court found:

  • Parcel #20 was indeed inherited property from the parents
  • No documentation proved the parents had gifted the land to Richard
  • Richard was granted the certificate after both parents had already passed away
  • In 2000, the brothers even jointly built an ancestral worship house on the disputed land, with Robert contributing significantly to the construction cost

The verdict: The Hanoi High Court partially accepted the appeal and revoked the land use certificate, but only for parcel #20 (the inherited land). Richard could keep the certificate for parcels #19 and #21 which he had purchased.

When Can Land Certificates Be Revoked in 2025? 📊



Key Legal Principles: What We Learned 📝

Based on the 2024 Land Law (Article 152, Clause 6), here's what happens when a certificate needs to be revoked:

  1. If the holder cooperates: The certificate is simply withdrawn ✅
  2. If the holder refuses: The issuing authority can formally invalidate it anyway! 🚫

The case of the Dao family illustrates Ground #4 perfectly: The certificate was issued to the wrong person, as Richard wasn't the rightful owner of the entire property, particularly parcel #20.

Real-Life Examples: When Certificates Get the Chop! ✂️

  1. The Development Project 🏗️ Mrs. Tran from Hanoi had her certificate revoked when the government needed her land for a new highway. She received compensation, but many neighbors felt the amount wasn't enough! (Ground #1)
  2. The Measurement Mistake 📏 Mr. Nguyen discovered his certificate listed 500m² when his actual land was only 450m². The district office revoked his certificate and issued a corrected one. (Ground #4)
  3. The Ex-Spouse Situation 💔 After divorce proceedings, a court ordered the revocation of a joint certificate and issuance of two separate ones dividing the property. (Ground #5)

Did You Know? 🤔

  • Before 1993, Vietnam didn't issue individual land use certificates! Land was considered collective property managed by the state.
  • The red book (sổ đỏ) nickname for land certificates comes from their distinctive crimson cover.
  • In Vietnam, you don't technically own land - you own the right to use it! The land itself belongs to "the people" and is managed by the state.
  • Approximately 70% of all civil disputes in Vietnam are related to land!

The Natural Law Comparison: Territory in the Animal Kingdom 🐾

Even in nature, territory disputes follow similar patterns! Wolf packs mark and defend their hunting grounds based on:

  • Ancestral territory rights (inherited like parcel #20)
  • Newly claimed areas (purchased like parcels #19 and #21)
  • Disputes resolved through established hierarchies (courts in human society)

Just as courts can revoke improper land certificates, alpha wolves can challenge and reclaim territories that were improperly taken! Nature has its own "legal system" after all! 🐺

Tips for Protecting Your Land Rights 💡

  1. Document everything! Keep all papers related to your property in a safe place.
  2. Register changes promptly. Marriage, divorce, or inheritance should trigger updates to your certificates.
  3. Verify boundaries. Have your land officially measured to avoid future disputes.
  4. Know your rights. Familiarize yourself with the 2024 Land Law provisions that affect your property.
  5. Resolve family disputes early. Had the Dao family addressed the inheritance issue before Richard obtained the certificate, they might have avoided 20+ years of tension!

Test Your Knowledge: Land Certificate Quiz! 📝

  1. How many grounds exist for revoking land use certificates in Vietnam in 2025? a) 4 b) 5 c) 6 d) 7
  2. What happens if someone refuses to surrender their land certificate when legally required? a) Nothing can be done b) They face criminal charges c) The authority can declare it invalid anyway d) They must pay a fine first
  3. In the Dao family case, which parcel was revoked from the certificate? a) Parcel #19 b) Parcel #20 c) Parcel #21 d) All parcels
  4. Which court made the final decision in the Dao family case? a) Haiphong District Court b) Haiphong City Court c) Hanoi High Court d) Supreme People's Court

(Answers: 1-c, 2-c, 3-b, 4-c)

The Takeaway: Document Early, Dispute Never! 📋

The Dao family case teaches us that proper documentation of land transfers, especially within families, is crucial. Richard's claim might have stood if he had formal documentation of his parents' gift before their passing.

As Vietnam continues to develop its land management systems, clear documentation and proper legal procedures become increasingly important to avoid protracted disputes and ensure stability in property ownership.

When Death Plays Musical Chairs: Understanding Inheritance by Representation in Vietnam 🪑👻

 

Etymology Corner: The Root of Representation 📚

The term "inheritance by representation" comes from the Latin "repraesentare," meaning "to bring before, to show, to exhibit." In legal terminology, this principle represents a deceased inheritor's rights by transferring them to their descendants. It's like nature's way of saying, "The show must go on!" even when key players have exited the stage prematurely. 🎭

The Family Tree Branch That Refuses to Break: Inheritance by Representation in a Nutshell 🥜

Imagine you're in line for your grandmother's inheritance, but tragedy strikes and you pass away before her. Does that mean your children get nothing while your siblings receive everything? Not in Vietnam! Thanks to "inheritance by representation" (or as it's known in Vietnamese legal circles, "thừa kế thế vị"), your children can step into your inheritance shoes and claim what would have been yours. 👣

This legal principle ensures that premature death doesn't disinherit entire branches of a family tree. It's like an inheritance relay race where if one runner drops the baton, their child can pick it up and continue the race! 🏃‍♂️

A Real Court Drama: The Wang Family Inheritance Battle 📜

To understand how this works in practice, let's dive into a fascinating case recently decided by Vietnam's High Court in Ho Chi Minh City.

Meet Our Cast of Characters:

  • Grandma Eleanor Wang (deceased) - Original property owner who didn't leave a will
  • Michael Wang (deceased) - Eleanor's son who died before inheritance could be divided
  • Helen Chen - Michael's wife
  • Thomas Wang - Michael's eldest son
  • William Wang - Michael's middle son
  • James Wang - Michael's youngest son
  • Diana Wang - Michael's sister-in-law who falsely registered Eleanor's land in her husband's name

The Property at Stake:

A 3,946.7m² plot of land in Lam Dong Province that Grandma Eleanor had cultivated since 1962.

The Plot Thickens:

Grandma Eleanor discovered that her land had been secretly registered by her other son (Diana's husband) in 1994 without her permission. She filed a lawsuit in 2011, but before it could be resolved, she passed away in 2014. Her son Michael continued the lawsuit, but then he too passed away in 2017, leaving his wife Helen and their three sons to carry on the legal battle.

The core question became: Who has the right to inherit Grandma Eleanor's land, and in what proportions?



The Legal Question: How Does Inheritance by Representation Work? ⚖️

When Eleanor died without a will, Vietnamese law dictated that her estate should be divided equally among her five children. But one son had died before her, and another (Michael) died during the lawsuit.

This is where inheritance by representation comes into play:

According to Article 652 of Vietnam's 2015 Civil Code:

"When a child of the deceased dies before or at the same time as the deceased, the grandchild shall inherit the portion that their parent would have received if still alive. If the grandchild also dies before or at the same time as the deceased, the great-grandchild shall inherit the portion that their parent would have received if still alive."

In simpler terms:

  • If you die before receiving an inheritance from your parent, your children get your share
  • If you have no children, or your children also die before the original deceased, your share passes to your great-grandchildren (if any)

The First Instance Judgment: Victory for the Heirs 🏆

The Lam Dong Provincial Court ruled:

  • The land registration in Diana's husband's name was invalid and should be canceled
  • Eleanor's land was her separate property, not marital property
  • The property would be divided among Eleanor's five children equally (20% each)
  • Since Diana's husband had died before Eleanor, his 20% share would go to his daughters (inheritance by representation)
  • Since Michael died during the lawsuit, his 20% share would go to his wife Helen and their three sons

The Appeal: Diana Fights Back 🥊

Diana wasn't satisfied with the ruling. She appealed, claiming:

  • The land actually belonged to a third party who had gifted it to her and her husband
  • The land registration documentation was valid
  • The court failed to include potential heirs of the alleged original owner

The Appellate Judgment: Upholding Representation Rights ⚡

The High Court dismissed Diana's appeal and upheld the original judgment, finding:

  • There was no evidence supporting Diana's claim that the land came from a third party
  • DNA evidence confirmed the family relationships in dispute
  • The land registration had been obtained improperly
  • All proper heirs had been included in the proceedings

The court upheld the principle of inheritance by representation, confirming that the grandchildren of Eleanor would receive their parent's share if that parent died before inheritance distribution.

Real-Life Example: The Smith Family Succession 🏠

Let's look at how this might apply in a more everyday scenario:

Sarah Smith has three children: Andrew, Barbara, and Charles. She owns a valuable house but hasn't made a will. Unfortunately, Barbara dies in a car accident before Sarah passes away. Barbara has two children, Emma and Frank.

When Sarah eventually passes away:

  • Andrew inherits 1/3 of the house
  • Charles inherits 1/3 of the house
  • Emma and Frank (Barbara's children) each inherit 1/6 of the house (splitting Barbara's 1/3 share)

Without inheritance by representation, Barbara's children would receive nothing, and the house would be split 50/50 between Andrew and Charles only!

Did You Know? 🤔 🤔

  • The principle of inheritance by representation dates back to Roman law and was known as "representatio"!
  • In some countries, this principle is known as "per stirpes" distribution (Latin for "by the branch"), while distribution without representation is called "per capita" (Latin for "by the head").
  • Vietnam's Civil Code originally recognized inheritance by representation in the 1995 Civil Code, and strengthened these provisions in later revisions.
  • According to inheritance statistics, approximately 30% of inheritance cases in Vietnam involve at least one heir who died before the distribution of assets.
  • In the United States, each state has different laws regarding inheritance by representation, with some limiting it to grandchildren only!

The Natural World's Version of Inheritance 🌿

Even nature has its own version of "inheritance by representation":

  • Bee colonies: When a queen bee dies, her genetic line continues through her daughters who compete to become the next queen.
  • Plant succession: When a mature tree falls in the forest, its offspring that were already growing in its shadow quickly take advantage of the new sunlight to grow into the space.
  • Territorial animals: When a pack leader dies, offspring often inherit the territory rather than letting it go to unrelated members of the species.

While nature doesn't have legal principles, it does have many mechanisms to ensure continuity of genetic lines and resources from one generation to the next! 🐝🌳

Tips for Navigating Inheritance by Representation in Vietnam 💡

  1. Document family relationships clearly - In cases of inheritance by representation, being able to prove the family tree becomes crucial.
  2. Consider creating a will - While inheritance by representation protects descendants when someone dies intestate (without a will), a properly executed will can clarify your intentions and prevent disputes.
  3. Keep property registration up-to-date - As seen in the Wang family case, improper property registration can lead to decades-long legal battles.
  4. Gather evidence early - If you believe you're entitled to inherit by representation, collect birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates showing the chain of relationship.
  5. Know the time limits - In Vietnam, inheritance claims must typically be made within 10 years of the death of the property owner.
