Rules state that one dwelling house can be disregarded when deciding upon whether the applicant’s capital exceeds £8,000.

The respondents appeal to the tribunal was unsuccessful so on the 26th July 2002 the respondent appealed to the Commissioner who decided that there was “sufficient uncertainty” about the facts of the case so it could be remitted for a rehearing before a differently constituted tribunal. The tribunal heard the case remitted to them on the 26th July 2002, the respondent gave evidence which was accepted.

    Abstract: The court was required to determine two preliminary issues in relation to an unfair prejudice petition presented by the petitioner (B). B, and the first respondent (X), had incorporated a company (F) in April 2010 to import weight loss machines and were its initial directors. From the outset, B was employed by F on a modest salary. In November 2011, B was dismissed and removed as a director of F, which ceased trading about May 2012. During F's trading, there had been an almost complete disregard of the statutory and formal requirements for the operation of a limited company. B's primary complaint in presenting the substantive unfair prejudice petition was that he had been excluded from the company from the time of his dismissal, though he had entered into a partnership with X on F's incorporation on the understanding that each were to be equal shareholders. X denied that B had been a shareholder at all, despite an annual return splitting F's shareholding equally between B, X and the second respondent (Y), and a subsequent annual return stating that all of F's shares had been transferred to X. In support of his shareholding claim, B relied on tax returns in which he had declared dividends from the shares he held in F. The issues were whether (i) B had been a shareholder in F; (ii) the grounds complained of in the unfair prejudice petition were grounds for an order under the Companies Act 2006 s.994.…
