The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding a shareholder's agreement, oppression, and ordering an advance payment of $75,000 along with substantial indemnity costs.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding ample evidence to support the trial judge's conclusions.
The refusal to acknowledge the respondent as a shareholder constituted oppression under section 248 of the Business Corporations Act.
The trial judge's costs award was also upheld as a proper exercise of discretion.
