The court found that the affairs of the company were conducted in a manner unfairly prejudicial to the petitioner, including failure to hold general meetings and exclusion from management. The petitioner was confirmed as a rightful shareholder. The court ordered a general meeting to appoint an independent auditor to establish the company's financial status, after which the petitioner's claims for payment, remuneration, and change of company name would be addressed. The court granted the petitioner's request for the company to change its name from 'Kiluwa' after the audit process.
