Case Of Foss V Harbottle

Despite the decision in Gambotto being widely seen as a significant victory for minority shareholders , as the High Court “dramatically turned the tide of power in favour of minority shareholders” the subsequent responses have seen an unwillingness to follow the ruling made, which therefore means a move away from minority rights, as was the case before the High Court judgement

A 17 year old girl went to a job interview in the back of the accused’s (Ewanchuk) van. After the interview concluded, Ewanchuk invited her into his trailer to see some of his work. The complainant complied, and purposely left the trailer door open-- though Ewanchuk closed the door soon after, in a way where the complainant had thought he had locked it. The accused began a string of sexual touches, each more intimate than the previous, which the complainant said “no” to, only to have Ewanchuk continue with another advance shortly thereafter. Any compliance the complainant offered was due to fear of the altercation turning violent. Ewanchuk paid her $100 before she left and told her not to tell anyone about it.

There have been many questions and concerns leading to court cases regarding federalism and state rights. Most frequently the Tenth and Eleventh Amendments interpretation plays a pivotal role in these cases. The tenth amendments are powers reserved for the states that are not expressed in the Constitution. The eleventh amendment protects states from getting sued by citizens. The cases Garcia v San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority (SAMTA), Nevada v Hibbs and Alden v Maine will showcase if the Supreme Court has been consistent when dealing with federalism and states rights.

In the case Pastizzi Café Pty Ltd v. Hossain (No 4) NSWSC 808 (28 July 2011) there is a relatively straightforward conflict involving five principals (three individuals and two corporate entities) in which a number of legal issues come to the fore. Briefly, the events in question occur over the span of nearly five years and involve a partnership between Deborah Ross, Leonard Ross and Miraj Hossain to own and manage Pastizzi Café Pty Ltd. Though the case is straightforward, the events are somewhat convoluted--in sum, Ms Ross is guarantor of the start-up costs and in April 2007, Ms Ross and Mr. Hossain receive $1 share in the new company, Mr. Ross, for other legal reasons, does not receive a share (Pastizzi Café v Hossain, 3,4). Eventually, Mr. Hossain and his company, Talukder Enterprises Pty Ltd make the claim that Mr. and Ms Ross are making all management decisions, but that this is illegal since he argues that Mr. Ross is not a partner, shareholder or director. Mr. and Ms. Ross vehemently disagree. (Pastizzi Café v Hossain, 4, 5). Further, Mr. and Ms Ross argue that Mr. Hossain agreed in a meeting on 12 November 2010 to sell his third of the partnership, and there arose a question as to the value of the business. (Pastizzi Café v Hossain, 5). On February 7, 2011, Mr. Hossain locks both Mr. and Ms. Ross out of the restaurant and establishes his own business on the property. Both sides seek damages.

In the late 1960’s and early 1970s, litigation began to establish the right to appropriate education services and placement bias protections for individuals ages 3 to 21 (Reschly, 2013). During this time, placement litigation, in particular, was focusing on the overrepresentation of racial minority students in educable mental retardation (EMR), or special education programs, with allegations of “inappropriate assessments, use of biased instruments, and excessive reliance on intelligence testing” (Reschly, 2013, p. 200).

1. Consider Dunlap’s statement on page 3 of the case: “Stakeholders! Every time I hear the word, I ask how much did they pay for their stake? There is only one constituency I am concerned about and that is the shareholder primacy? Do you agree or disagree with Dunlap’s view of shareholder primacy? Explain

There is no clear framework of the rules that would cover the contingencies of a ruling to pierce the corporate veil Idoport Pty Ltd v National Australia Bank Ltd. The corporate Veil usually protects owners and shareholders from being held liable for corporate duties. Yet again a decision made by the court to lift that veil and would place the liability on shareholders, owners, administrators, executives and officers of the company without ownership interest. The purpose of this essay is to conduct an analysis on the concept of lifting the corporate veil and to review the different views on its fairness and equitability to present a better understanding of the notion, the methods used was throughout researching the numerous scholars views on the subject, case law and statutes examples, and the evidence provided by the empirical study of Ramsay & Noakes. When we discuss the lifting the corporate veil the first case that pops out is the case of Salomon V A. Salomon & Co Ltd, since the decisions of applying the corporate veil were first formed as a consequence of this case. The idea covers all of company law and distinguishes that a company is a separate legal entity from its members and directors. Furthermore, spencer (2012); have indicated that one of the core principles that followed the decision in Salomon v Salomon was the wide acceptance one man company’s. However In order to form a

The basic principal relating to the administration of the affairs of a company is that “the will of the majority is supreme”. The general rule is that the decisions of the majority shareholders in a company bind the minority. 1 In a world that recognizes ‘simple majority rules’, minority shareholders of companies are by default vulnerable to oppression,

The protections under the Corporations Act suffice to guard the minority from the majority’s unfair wrongdoing. In fact, the Australian corporate law provides significant protections on shareholders. To support the argument, this essay discusses Foss v Harbottle rule and derivative action. It also elaborates exceptions to the rule, especially ‘fraud on the minority’ and statutory protections available for the minority protection under the Corporations Act. These are analysed in views of organic theory, economic theory and aggregate theory. It concludes with that specific protections for the minority are unnecessary because these may lose the balance of a corporation and the minority and majority members.
