I've set up a company with a partner.

We hold 50% of shares each and we are in our first year of trading.

I'm the only Director.

The partner have been near to useless since we incorporated...

I wanted to buy his shares but he's not responding to my calls

Can I buy his shares without him around or is there a way to get him

out of shareholding....

I don't want to keep working and someday, he just come and claim half of what
I worked for...

Our article of association doesn't state anything in regard to share sale..


Please let me know your thoughts
