Court of First Instance

HCMP964/2020

The court found the applicants acted in good faith and for proper purposes and that there was a sufficient evidential basis to investigate suspected diversion of company business and long term withholding of information; convening a meeting by ordinary means was impracticable; accordingly the court ordered inspection under s740 and a court-ordered general meeting under s570 with ancillary directions (including that one shareholder attending constitutes a quorum and that a resolution to appoint directors may be put).
