The respondents brought a motion to strike an oppression application commenced by the applicants.
The applicants were minority shareholders of a holding company that owned a minority interest in the respondent corporation, but did not own shares in the respondent corporation directly.
The moving parties argued that the applicants were not proper 'complainants' under s. 245(c) of the Business Corporations Act.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that it was not plain and obvious that the applicants would fail to qualify as complainants, given the court's broad discretion and the factual issues surrounding the corporate structure and the applicants' relationship to the company.
