Team Members
- Represented a foreign public company in a landmark Federal Court case which held that directors and third parties can be held personally liable in oppression actions under S346 of the Companies Act, 2016. We won the appeal.
- Defended a former director in a complex corporate dispute involving shareholding, wills, fraud, conspiracy, fiduciary duties, and jurisdictional issues initiated by, among others, a public listed company.
- Represented the sons of the 1st wife of the Deceased where the 2nd wife of the Deceased, the executor of the estate was not doing a great job in administering the estate. Properties under the estate were in a dilapidated state and foreclosure proceedings were initiated due to the fact that the mortgages were not paid for by the executor during the administration of the estate. Even with the emotional grudges against 2 families, we strive to provide our clients a holistic solution which will be workable for a long term for both parties. The conflict was eventually resolved where both parties compromised in relation to the contribution and sacrifices for their respective entitlements. Now our clients get to enjoy their entitlement under their late father’s estate and the executor gets to have a life interest for one of the properties.
