The Registrar found that the breakdown in relations and failure of corporate governance between the two equal shareholders, coupled with the respondent's refusal to provide key documents and failure to recognize the applicant's substantial investment, constituted oppressive conduct within the meaning of section 243 of the Companies Act.

The court found that while the Respondent company faces genuine financial and logistical challenges, repeated applications for extension without evidence of efforts to convene an Annual General Meeting are not in the best interests of the shareholders.

The court held that directors must not use financial constraints as a perpetual excuse to avoid convening AGMs, and that the company must find alternative mechanisms to ensure sh…
