The trial judge found that the company's other shareholder and director, Mr Taylor, had failed to act in the best interests of the company and to avoid conflicts of interest: he had broken his duties as a director. This conduct was held to be unfairly prejudicial for the purposes of section 994. The remedy ordered under section 996 was unusual and provides a good example of the breadth of the court's discretion: Mr Taylor was ordered to sell his shares to Mr Goodchild; the usual remedy under section 996 is one requiring the petitioner to be bought out.
