Shareholder Remedies For Unfair Conduct

Sometimes a company does not run properly because the management does work such as when there is unfair conduct. Unfairness (or oppression) can take many shapes and forms and may be actionable if it is: -

• contrary to the interests of the members as a whole;
• unfairly prejudicial to some members. 

Where there is oppression the court can provide a range of remedies including a winding up order or for the purchase of shares. 

If you are a shareholder in a company that is being run unfairly then contact us for an appointment to discuss your options and remedies for unfair conduct.
