Sweet & Maxwell’s Robin Hollington on Shareholders’ Rights – 9th South Asian Edition 2023.
CONTENTS
It seems like you’ve provided a detailed overview of the 9th Edition of Hollington on Shareholder’s Rights. This edition appears to cover a wide range of topics related to statutory remedies for the protection of minority shareholders, including the fiduciary duties of directors, restrictions on the power of the majority under general principles of equity, and the principles of partnership law.
Here are the key highlights and updates mentioned in the 9th Edition:
- Re-organization of the book with a main focus on statutory remedies for the protection of minority shareholders, including unfair prejudice, winding up on the just and equitable basis, and derivative claims.
- Expanded discussion of common law and equitable principles, including those borrowed from partnership law, relating to the protection of minority shareholders.
- Updates to reflect all the new case-law since the 8th edition, including UK cases on the meaning of duties of good faith in the law of contract, implication of such duties and of fiduciary duties in “long-term” or “joint ventures” relationships, and their application in the context of the statutory oppression remedies.
- Court of Appeal authority on the remedies available in the case of a breakdown of a relationship of trust and confidence in a quasi-partnership.
- Recent cases addressing the issue of whether a discount should be applied in valuing minority shareholdings, including the important decision in Shanda Games Ltd v Masonry Capital Investments Ltd by the Privy Council.
- Addressing the minority discount issue in the Court of Appeal’s decision in Re Sprintroom Ltd., which covers various issues, including costs, in unfair prejudice proceedings.
It seems like this edition provides comprehensive coverage of both statutory remedies and common law and equitable principles related to protecting the rights of minority shareholders.
