Analyzing the problems arising both in law enforcement practice and at the level of scientific views regarding the institution of expulsion, author reveals the institution consistently in each non-public company, determining the legal nature of the institution of expulsion, the limits of the autonomy of the will of the shareholders in the possibility of dispositive regulation of the order of expulsion.
