Shareholder Dissent and Minority Shareholder Dissent
Dissent rights allow shareholders to object to certain decisions in a corporation and demand the corporation to repurchase their shares at a fair value.
If an issue arises due to dissenting shareholders, both the corporation and the dissenting shareholders are governed by both Federal and Provincial statutory procedures, and share value may ultimately be determined by agreement or through court using the services of a CBV.
Shareholder Oppression and Remedy
Shareholder oppression considers the decisions and actions of majority shareholders that unfairly harms minority shareholders. It occurs when the majority shareholders act in a way that is to the detriment interest of the minority.
Remedy for oppression occurs when minority shareholders bring an action against the majority and require the corporation to repurchase their shares at fair value.
Damage Quantification
Damage quantification as a result of events such as a breach of contract, intellectual property infringement, business interruption, etc. is the determination of losses suffered by the injured party, be it a person, partnership, or corporation, by another party accused of negligence or wrongdoing.
Losses are quantified as the courts strive to award injured parties for damages should the alleged wrongdoer be found to be liable and seeks to return the injured party to the same position they would have been in but for the wrongful act.
