Article 402 of the Companies Act refers to the protection of shareholders against unfair prejudice. This is the statutory protection of minority shareholders or minority interests. What constitutes a minority interest and how can this be unfairly prejudiced? The Maltese courts provided examples of situations which may constitute an unfairly prejudicial conduct against a minority shareholder. Practical examples will be provided and there will also be reference to Maltese and foreign judgments. The course will include a deep dive into the remedies available to the minority shareholder. The concept of minority interest will be analysed from the Company’s perspective and that of the minority shareholder. Limitations to the principle of unfair prejudice and their repercussions will also be discussed.
