Description: Shareholders holding more than 50% of a company's share capital are generally accepted to control that company. But what are the limits of the power that comes with that control? In particular, in what circumstances can the majority force a sale of the minority's shares, either to themselves or to an outsider? This book will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and in- house counsel who seek a safe way through the minefield of minority rights.
