Clients (husband and wife) opened a family plumbing business and put it into a C Corp. Subsequently they granted shares in the corporation to three children, but retained control. There is no shareholder buy-sell agreement. One son has now opened a competing business and is actively trying to divert business from the clients. I see nothing in RCW 23B.06 .07 dealing with this problem. Clients would like to force their son to either give back his stock or buy it back. Is there any theory under which this can be compelled?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff Davis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black'>W.
