Summary
The parties agreed on a share transfer but not on the price. The Enterprise Chamber appoints an expert to value the shares. The procedure shows how a shareholder dispute may be narrowed to the financial settlement.
Legal significance
On a joint petition, the Enterprise Chamber may oversee price determination once the share transfer itself is no longer contested.
Procedural and factual context
A joint price-determination procedure becomes relevant where the parties agree that shares will be transferred but cannot agree on the consideration. The valuation issue can then be isolated from the question whether the shareholding should end.
Legal analysis
Key questions include the relevant valuation date, the information available to an appointed expert and the opportunity for each party to challenge assumptions and methodology. The actual scope of any expert's assignment must be checked against the original order.
Practical implications
For companies and advisers this highlights the value of agreeing in advance on information access, valuation principles and the allocation of costs. The precise statutory basis and procedural directions should always be checked in the original Dutch decision.
