Bringing and Responding to Claims of Unfair Prejudice

In privately owned limited companies, directors and shareholders are often the same individuals, and these roles can overlap significantly. Shareholders may be actively involved in the company’s management, and when disputes arise—especially involving accusations of unfairly prejudicial conduct—these conflicts can severely impact the business and damage relationships. Such disputes, particularly between majority and minority shareholders, can have a crippling effect on the company and its stakeholders.
