Protection for minority shareholders
Shareholders have ultimate control of a company. However the directors run the company's business and are responsible for its management. In general shareholders cannot interfere, although they can appoint and remove directors.
These Guidance Notes provide an outline of the relevant provisions, but they are not comprehensive and should not be relied on as authoritative. Specific advice should be obtained on any particular issues.
