Quick Summary
This discussion explores the concept of share forfeiture in company accounts when partial payments are made and the remaining balance is unpaid. It questions why the doctrine of restitution, which typically involves returning payments, may not apply in such cases. The content explains that earnest money serves as security, and if a shareholder defaults on payments, the forfeited amount is credited to capital reserves rather than refunded.

“The principle of restitution is also not applicable where a party is required to give someearnest money which serves as a security that the depositor will perform his part. Such depositwill not be refunded if the depositor fails to perform his promise.”

This is one of the limitations of the doctrine. However, if one can understand the straightforwardness in not returning the money to shareholders is justified. Everyone can default on calls in arrears and company will incur transaction costs. So, the amount paid by investors is forfeited and credited to capital reserves.
