Can a cooperative remove a member?

Cooperative Law (Sahakari Law)

Yes, but membership cannot be terminated arbitrarily. Section 34 identifies grounds such as voluntary resignation, repeated absence from annual general meetings without notice, repeated violation of legal/bylaw duties, or loss of eligibility.

A member with outstanding debts, liabilities, guarantees or unsettled financial obligations generally cannot simply end membership until those obligations are settled.
