What this session will cover

The panel will present a case study to discuss how minority shareholders might hold companies and their directors to account, with practical tips on resolving such disputes and a discussion regarding recent case law in the UK and internationally.

There have been a number of recent, interesting decisions in the UK and internationally including:
1. the Privy Council (Cayman Islands) decision in Tianrui (International) Holding Company Ltd v China Shanshui Cement Group Ltd;
2. THG Plc v Zedra Trust Company (Jersey) Ltd, recently heard in the Supreme Court on unfair prejudice claims; and
3. ClientEarth v Shell Plc on derivative claims.

Through the case study, the panel will present the key takeaways from these cases.
