South Carolina Supreme Court Invalidates LLC Operating Agreement's Repurchase Right After Charging Order Foreclosure

 South Carolina Supreme Court Invalidates LLC Operating Agreement's Repurchase Right After Charging Order Foreclosure


Doug Batey has reported on a recent South Carolina decision addressing:

Many LLC operating agreements contain transfer restrictions on LLC member interests. Those restrictions sometimes include the LLC’s right to repurchase the interest if a member makes a transfer in violation of the operating agreement. What’s the result if such a repurchase right applies to a transfer resulting from the foreclosure of a charging order by a member’s judgment creditor? The South Carolina Supreme Court earlier this month ruled that a foreclosure sale was valid and trumped the operating agreement’s repurchase right, and that the repurchase right could not be enforced.
