We have a close corporation with two members (50:50).Member A and Member B , a year after starting out agree mutually that they cannot work together, so Member A asks Member B to leave the business which he does without negotiating part reimbursement of the monies he (Member B) invested.
Member B is public officer of the corporation, however it is Member A who handles bank related matters and sars related returns and payments without any reference to Member B.
Now, for 6 months after leaving the business , Member A has continued to work at the business.As a result of financial contraints, Member A has been unable to pay the latest Vat and Paye returns.
Sars has threatened legal action toward Member B who has not been any part of the business for 6 months and is totally out of touch with the business.
What course of action would Member B have in this scenario?
