Commentaries: Art. 867

The articles of association define the obligatory contributions.
Where the members are obliged to pay in contributions on share certificates or to make other contributions, the cooperative must call them in by registered letter with an appropriate time limit for performance.
Where no payment is forthcoming on first request and the member fails to comply within one month of a second call for payment, the member may be declared to have forfeited their rights as member of the cooperative, providing they were previously warned of this consequence by registered letter.
Unless the articles of association provide otherwise, the declaration of forfeiture does not release the member from obligations already due or falling due by virtue of their exclusion.
