The plaintiff failed to prove a surviving understanding or quasi-partnership binding after the 2019 restructuring and LEAP listing; his removal was effected in accordance with the constitution and voted by sophisticated shareholders; the alleged losses are reflective of company loss and, if arising from breach of duty, must be pursued by a derivative action under s347; accordingly there was no unfairly prejudicial conduct under s346 and the petition is dismissed.

The court held the Originating Summons must be struck out because the Plaintiffs are majority shareholders in control and can obtain adequate remedies via existing proceedings (Suit 75) and other legal remedies; the complaints amount to corporate wrongs subject to the proper plaintiff rule and the rule against reflective loss; maintaining both suits was unnecessary and constituted abuse of process; accordingly strike‑out granted and costs awarded.

Plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that there existed a special personal relationship or legitimate expectation warranting equitable intervention and failed to show that the contested acts were real, implemented oppressive conduct or caused individual prejudice; the shareholders agreement (including entire agreement and no partnership clauses) governed the relationship and the restructuring proposals were unimplemented commercial proposals, therefore the originating summons is dismissed.
