50/50 shareholders and oppressive conduct: When some shareholders are more equal than others

A fundamental principle of South African company law is “ majority rules ” – shareholders and directors are bound by the decisions of the majority even where such decisions are not in their interest. However, recognising the potential for unfair abuse of such a principle, the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) devised section 163, which allows a director or shareholder of a company to apply to court for relief from oppressive conduct of the company or a person related to it that unfairly disregards or prejudices the interests of the applicant. Section 163 therefore paints the picture of a majority shareholder abusing its ability to control the company to unfairly bully or oppress minority shareholders. But what happens if the shareholders are equals – can a 50/50 shareholder be oppressed by their equal? This was the question before the High Court in Van der Watt v Schoeman and Others 91 SA 531 (ECGq).

Capacity building and fostering expertise in international arbitration in Africa

The central theme of the Johannesburg Arbitration Week 2024 (JAW) was showcasing arbitration in Africa. This prompted engaging discussion and renewed calls for the Africanisation of international arbitration. This encompasses African disputes being arbitrated in Africa, presided over by African arbitrators, administered by African arbitral institutions, and argued by African lawyers. With expanding foreign direct investment in Africa and the expansion of BRICS to Egypt and Ethiopia, the calls to ensure that Africa has a voice in and imprint on the international arbitration proceedings it participates in are gathering momentum. This ensures that Africa’s unique priorities and experiences are sufficiently taken intoconsideration.
