The petition regarding IMG is not struck out or dismissed because there is a compelling reason to allow further investigation and disclosure regarding share value and potential prejudice; the evidence does not establish that the shares had no value as at the relevant date, and the petitioner has a realistic prospect of establishing unfair prejudice subject to amendment and further directions.
