We were denied the ability to make a decision when our votes were tossed. Justice Steeves could not render the judgement he made. There is something very wrong with the Justice System of B.C. and the BCSC, they allowed and denied us of our rights to vote, which is not just and undemocratic, a true violation of so many written acts. The least prudent decision Justice Steeves could have made, was ordered arbitration and another AGM where all votes could be counted.
Regardless of the approach taken, Canadian courts will not uphold defensive
tactics demonstrably aimed at management or director self-entrenchment.
However, where a court is satisfied that the directors have acted in the best
interests of the corporation and in good faith, it is not fatal if they also benefit
as a result. Further, directors cannot act to deny shareholders the ability to
make a decision with respect to a take-over bid.
