Rutledge © The Author May 31, 2017 This Cumulative Supplement may be downloaded free of charge from http://ssrn.com/abstract=2129208 CONTENTS 9.1 Introduction 9.2 The Effect of Dissolution Upon the LLC 9.3 Articles of Dissolution 9.4 Winding Up [9.1] Introduction Dissolution of a limited liability company may come about by any of six reasons, namely: • upon having reached a definite date of dissolution set forth in the articles of organization;1 • as otherwise dictated by a written operating agreement;2 • by agreement of the members;3 • for the failure to have a member;4 • pursuant to judicial order;5 or • by administrative dissolution by the Secretary of State.6 1 Ky.

Ann. §275.285(6). 1 This chapter will begin by reviewing seriatum the various events that will trigger an LLC; dissolution, proceeding then to discuss the effect of dissolution on the LLC and its members/managers. Last, it will review the process of winding up. [9.1.1] Dissolution upon Having Reached a Definite Date of Dissolution While such is in no manner required, an LLC may set forth in its articles of organization a definite date upon which it will dissolve.7 Having reached the end of its term as defined in its articles of organization, the LLC is dissolved,8 but with a limited opportunity for retroactive cure. That cure is accomplished by, within the 60 days after the date of dissolution, the LLC amending its articles to either delete the term provision or extend it to a future date. In either instance, that amendment will relate back and be effective as of the previously provided-for date of termination, and the existence of the entity will not be interrupted.9 Conversely, after that 60 day period has run, amendment of the organic filing is no longer permitted, and the organization must proceed to wind up and terminate.10 The Secretary of State, with respect to a business entity with a limited period of duration, may issue a certificate of dissolution during the 60 day period during which the business entity may still cure its dissolution for having reached the end of its term.11 During that 60 day cure period, the Secretary of State's office will not be able to issue, with respect to that business entity, a certificate of existence12 unless and until the articles of organization have been amended to extend or delete the termination date. [9.1.2] Dissolution as is Otherwise Required by the Operating Agreement The operating agreement (or the articles of organization) may define events upon which the LLC will dissolve.13 For example, it could be provided that upon the death or resignation of a particular member or upon the sale of substantially all company assets that the LLC will dissolve. That the LLC will be dissolved upon an event set forth in an operating agreement is entirely a matter of contract, and the LLC will need to file articles of dissolution in order to make that fact of public record.14 The operating agreement should specify both who 7 Ky.

    The Legal Process and Appellate Court Cases: Information for Non-Lawyers Prepared by Carol E

    The Legal Process and Appellate Court Cases: Information for Non-Lawyers Prepared by Carol E. Jordan and LaKeysha Singleton Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women Each issue of THE EXCHANGE will include select recent Kentucky Supreme Court and Court of Appeals cases that can impact civil and criminal cases related to intimate partner violence/domestic violence; children who witness IPV; sexual assault; stalking; and related crimes. This document will provide information on the structure of the Kentucky Court of Justice; actions of appellate courts; parties to legal actions; statutes and case law; and types of laws and offenses. The final section provides select legal terminology. In 1974, Kentucky’s justice system was structured with police courts, county courts, quarter-session courts, and justice of the peace courts. These lower courts had little in the way of uniformity, their jurisdictions often overlapped, and law degrees were not required for their judges. Reforming the court of justice would require overcoming the politics of local control and would necessitate a Constitutional Amendment. That effort began in 1964 and after numerous fits and starts, ultimately resulted in passage of legislation in 1974. On May 27, 1975, a Constitutional Amendment was put before the voters of Kentucky. Upon its passage, a uniquely styled unified system of trial and appellate courts was established across the Commonwealth. The language of the Constitutional Amendment was codified by the 1976 General Assembly and through a series of separate House and Senate bills, county courts were changed to district courts; the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals were created; a Chief Justice was established as the executive head of the Court of Justice; and the Administrative Office of the Courts was formed.
