Hello again, fourth. In response to your asker note below, my Harraps goes along the lines of your explanation for "astreinte" which it defines as "a daily penalty for delay in payment of debt". This is a legal definition, the general one being, as Ellen states, an "obligation" or "constraint" (but a non-specific one).

to be obliged to act in conformity with a compulsory measure ´/ in this case: see below
the defaulter (the person who fails to invest capital) is obliged to pay, as you say, daily interests (for failed payments)

| Hello Elen. Do you think that "sous astreinte" might be more particular? |

order, subject to a daily penalty for non-compliance
"Enjoindre", when coming from a court, is to 'order' someone TO DO something, and sometimes, but more rarely, to "enjoin' someone FROM doing something. "Sous astreinte" means subject to a daily or monthly penalty for non-compliance, see that term in the Dict. des Expressions Juridiques. Here, I imagine it's daily. Based on the background provided by Asker, here, the shareholder is ordered to pay in a call or an assessment on his shares, subject to a penalty for failure to comply.
Fourth, Graham, have you tried kite-surfing? I have tried getting up on the board twice in the past month and have twice been catapulted, as from an ejection seat, across the adjacent marshland in a very bad imitation of the triple jump, bouncing each time on a different part of my anatomy, but never the feet. But see Erik Eck's accidental world record, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RuE5t1-H9k

| But Rufinus. What a Renaissance Man! What Erudition! What intelligence....... I just wish I'd been there. |
| R. Can we say then that you agree with Vicky with additional descriptive elements ? |
| R. By "Renaissance" I was trying to say "all-round". I think the answer is great, both parts of it. Because the first is informed and the second suits the weekend mood. I have another 3,000 in front of me today and I feel that you have picked me up a bit. So thank you! |
| Thanks E. Vicky came in like a train! |
