Unfair prejudice – an unusual outcome

Unfair prejudice claims associated with the management of companies are usually brought by a minority shareholder, with the usual order sought being a ‘Buy-Out Order’ requiring the wrongdoer to purchase the unfairly prejudiced party’s shares. In Macom GmbH v Bozeat & Ors [2021] EWCH 1661 (Ch) this was turned on its head.
