Shareholder disputes are one of the most controversial and difficult issues that business people will face. The issues that lead up to the dispute, as well as the ensuing litigation, can interfere significantly with the operation, security, and well-being of the business. It is important that practitioners be aware of some of the remedies available to their clients when a dispute arises.This webinar will focus on the issues faced by taxpayers in applying the GST/HST in sales, leases, and construction of real property, and help you to understand the rationale behind these complex rules.

This webinar will provide a general overview of the main shareholder remedies available to address the spectrum of disputes, from minor or technical issues to significant all-encompassing wrongs. These remedies range from a simple correction of a technical oversight to a full-blown "corporate divorce". Knowledge of the available remedies can assist in keeping your client's business on the right track.  

More specifically, the following topics will be discussed:

• The distinction between directors and shareholders  
• Derivative actions 
• The oppression remedy

• Relief a court can order pursuant to the oppression and windup remedies 
• Actions on shareholder agreements
