Patrick Mckillen (Petitioner) v Misland (Cyprus) Investments Ltd (a company registered in Cyprus) and Others
“
There is the further difficulty of identifying the provision which the parties would have negotiated to include. Mr Miles submits that it is enough for him to say that "interest" in the shares includes the interest of the owner of Misland. But once one indirect interest is included, why not others? What if A&A Investments Limited sold 49% or 51% of the share capital of Misland or if the Green family sold A&A Investments Limited?
For all these reasons, I conclude that the sale of the share capital of Misland in January 2011 was not made contrary to clause 6.17 of the shareholder agreement and did not trigger the other shareholders pre-emption rights. I reach the same conclusion on the articles and do so whether or not reference may be made to background facts. Accordingly, I answer the preliminary issues numbered 1, 2, 3 and 7 in the negative.

Newcastle International Airport Ltd v Eversheds LLP
“
She is plainly a capable, experienced, worldly and intelligent person. She has a long and impressive track record of work in the field of corporate finance. An important part of that role was to ensure that new contractual provisions affecting executive directors were subject to independent scrutiny by the Remuneration Committee.
Miss Radcliffe did not bother with minutiae; she concerned herself only with the broader picture. In the course of her oral evidence she used the expression "legalese" in a contemptuous and dismissive manner on countless occasions. Although she readily accepted that she would have understood the terms of the executive directors' contracts if she had read them she said that she did not in fact do so.

“
The first question to be asked is whether or not a person holds 50% of the shares. If such a person is found, that person can be the controller. If there is no other relevant factor, that is the end of the enquiry. However, if somebody holds more than 50% of the shares, but there is some other arrangement in place which means that a different person is entitled to direct the affairs of the company, that person is the controller.

JSC VTB Bank (a company incorporated in Russia) v Pavel Valerjevich Skurikhin
“
Authority aside, it seems to me that it may, in principle, amount to an abuse of process for a party to seek to reopen an interlocutory order on the basis of treating as a material change of circumstances a development that is wholly within that party's own control. Ex hypothesi, if the matter is within that party's control, it is a change they could have chosen to effect before the order was first made.

Criterion Properties Plc v Stratford UK Properties LLC and Others
“
In my judgment, therefore, what Belmont and Akindele decide for present purposes is that actual knowledge of circumstances which make the payment a misapplication is sufficient to bind the conscience of the recipient. On my analysis of the essential nature of the second supplementary agreement that, however, is not this case.
