A shareholder who sues to dissolve a corporation may be forced instead to sell his shares to the other shareholders at the price set by the appraisal procedure set out in Corp. Code 2000. This decision holds that the selling shareholder is not entitled to prejudgment interest on the appraised price of the shares between the valuation date and the date on which the other shareholders exercise their statutory option to buy at the appraised price. The price is not “damages” within the meaning of Civ. Code 3287, nor is the price paid for breach of an obligation under Civ. Code 3288. However, to avoid unfairness, the trial court has the discretion to set the valuation date after the presumptive date (when the dissolution suit was filed) if the appraisal proceedings delay payment of the purchase price for a long time, as they did in this case.
