SCA 4530571457/2024

This case involved the request of a shareholder to access the company's financial statements and annual accounts for particular fiscal years. The criteria for disclosure did not apply.

Background

This case involved a commercial dispute concerning the claimant’s request to obtain financial information from a company in which she held ownership. The claimant, a shareholder in the company, sought to compel the defendant to provide copies of the company’s financial statements and annual accounts for the fiscal years 2021 and 2022. The claimant’s request was grounded in her ownership rights and the legal entitlement to access corporate financial records to monitor and protect her investment and interests in the company. The dispute did not relate to the substance of the financial statements themselves but rather to the procedural right to access them.
