What Do You Need to Assess If There Has Been Unfair Prejudice?

In simple terms, we need to understand what has gone wrong, what has happened, and what loss has been suffered as a result. The detail and information/documents will vary but typically the best approach is for you to initially brief us in summary form via email, perhaps attaching any core documents such as a Shareholders agreement, if any.

We will then usually follow up via a call with a Partner. The direction at that stage can/will vary and will depend on the facts and circumstances. We might need to compile evidence with you such as in a witness statement, obtain information from you or third parties, or might immediately suggest issuing court proceedings to protect your position. Ultimately, to be successful in a claim for unfair prejudice, the petitioner must show that the actions of the Shareholder were both unfair and were prejudicial.
