Protection against oppressive or unfairly prejudicial conduct under the Companies Act 71 of 2008

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The Companies Act 61 of 1973 (the "1973 Act") will be repealed in its entirety when the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the "2008 Act") comes into operation on a date still to be fixed by the President of the Republic of South Africa, in proclamation. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate what impact, if any, the 2008 Act will have on the remedies afforded to members or shareholders in companies to protect their rights in the event of so-called "oppressive or unfairly prejudicial conduct" by majority decision, or otherwise, in a company.
