RLK acted for two shareholders in a property development company who were being unlawfully excluded from their rightful role as Directors. The sole Director was refusing to register them in breach of the company’s Articles of Association(AOA), while also engaging in fraud including falsifying documents, forging signatures and diverting company funds for personal use.
The Director was highly uncooperative and determined to retain full control. Fraudulent activity included falsified documents, unauthorised payments and a retracted written confession. The situation demanded careful handling of sensitive shareholder relationships, alongside the challenge of gathering irrefutable proof of fraud.
RLK advanced the case on the basis that the Director was in direct breach of the AOA and that fraudulent conduct had caused significant financial harm to the company and its shareholders.
By coordinating expert evidence with strong legal arguments, RLK built a clear and compelling case.
An injunction was secured compelling the appointment of the rightful shareholders as Directors. This restored balance and transparency within the company’s leadership, allowing decision-making and finances to return to proper control. Recovery of misappropriated funds was also initiated, safeguarding the long-term viability of the business.
This case shows how swift, expert-led action can expose fraud and protect shareholder rights. By combining litigation expertise with forensic evidence, RLK was able to overcome denial and manipulation, restoring both trust and control in a high-value property dispute.
