The court will determine whether Ron, Camille and Candie are member-managed LLC or a manager-managed LLC. This is crucial for the court to determine because “most LLC statutes and ULLCA provides that unless the articles of organization specify otherwise, an LLC is assumed to be member managed”(Miller, 2013). If Ron, Camille and Candie are member-managed LLC, the decision making process requires majority vote. The member-managed LLC is the appropriate for this kind of partnership. Since the three had no agreement on how to share the profit. This means that the court will apply LLC laws that govern how a partnership business is managed including sharing of profit.
In the case of Uniform Limited Liability company Act, the court may not apply it because less than one fifth adopted the Act.
