Shareholder Actions is a comprehensive guide to the possible actions shareholders may be entitled to pursue, onwhichever side of the dispute they might be involved. As well as unfair prejudice and derivative actions, and the many personal actions arising from the Companies Act 2006, the book covers actions based in common law and equity, as well as actions based in other statutory law. It also explores occurences of directors owing fiduciary duties directly to shareholders and the ''no reflective loss'' rule providing a clear view of its scope, but also its limitations.The book refers to judgments in other related jurisdictions when it is necessary to substantiate a submission not already fully and authoritatively addressed by English law.
