    RE WILLIAMS TULLAMORE

    I can't figure out whether the judge granted §212 (ex 205) or not? He seems to have said it was oppression but didn't.....arghhh idk! Any ideas? Would it be bad to just exclude it from my notes?

    The points i have for this case are that one act is sufficient for a finding of oppression and also this is the main case on 212(1)(b) ie acting in disregard to a members interest. I have down that it was found that they had acted in disregard to the interests of the minority shareholders (open to correction on this?) I haven't read the judgment just have this from my notes/manual

    Thanks for the reply. I'd actually cut it but will re-add now!

    I also had this which caused confusion:

    - “Why would Barrington J not simply have decided the case on the second limb of §205 (now §212), as Courtney suggests he could have done?”

    - “Although the learned judge grounded his jurisdiction to make an order bc the affairs of the co were being conducted in disregard of the interests of the ordinary shareholders, Courtney feels it is remarkable that Barrington J tagged onto his view the observation that to implement the resolutions would be oppressive: sufficient jurisdiction existed for the court to make an Order under §212 on the finding that the affairs of the co were being conducted in disregard of the ordinary shareholders interests.” [Courtney 3rd edn at 11.031]"

    I find the manuals can be confusing sometimes!

    My manual says on this case "it was held that the resolution was passed in disregard to the interests of the ordinary shareholders as the preference shareholders benefited to the detriment of the ordinary shareholders. Barrington J went on to say the resolution was 'oppressive to the interests of the ordinary shareholders"

    I think the above is where the confusion comes from because Barrington used the language from 212(1)a in conjunction with the language from 212(1)b essentially blurring the two limbs together..

    Is anyone else ****ting it over this sudden mock exam and the fact that we know absolutely nothing about what time it's at, what we will be tested on, how long it will be etc?

    I don't think I can get the day off work so I'll have to hope that this can be done on my lunch break or something. It's in less than 5 days like and no information given.

    I've been giving this more thought, they definitely just called it a dumb name, it can't be a mock exam because what would they examine? Which of the 8 subjects do they examine? If they asked a q on a subject I hadn't covered and I was a non-law grad i would be just sat there staring at the screen unable to even attempt it, or worst case scenario it would completely freak me out and i would go into panick mode.
    I think it must just a dry run of the set up, can everyone log in ok, can the platform handle x amount of people etc

    I think so, but we should know a time frame for it and how long it will take because I doubt I could swing the day off on such short notice. I'd rather not cause a fuss if its only going to be a 20 minute thing

    It's not an exam; there's no paper, at least what I've heard. Just makes sure that you're correctly set up and you've got everything working.

    Do people think someone else could do the ‘mock exam’ for you?

    I work an hour commute away but my partner works from home, if it’s just testing computer programme do we think they could do that for me rather than me having to take a day AL?
