  • Facts: The dispute involves Poseidon Fishing Inc., with Yanina Kononova and Oleg Tchoubarov as directors, and their respective companies holding shares. Kononova alleged mismanagement and breach of the shareholders' agreement by Tchoubarov, who was accused of misappropriating company funds and assets.

  • Issue: The court addressed allegations of contractual breaches, misappropriation of funds, and oppressive conduct by Tchoubarov against Kononova and her associated entities, leading to several court applications and orders.

  • Court’s Ruling: The court substantially granted the relief sought by Kononova, striking out Tchoubarov’s defenses and dismissing his oppression petition. It found Tchoubarov had conducted the affairs of Poseidon in a manner oppressive to Kononova, misappropriated funds, and breached various court orders and the shareholders' agreement.

  • Amount of Costs/Damages Awarded: Specific monetary judgments were granted against Tchoubarov and his companies, with amounts to be assessed for certain claims. The court also ordered a forensic accounting to trace misappropriated funds, with the cost to be borne by Tchoubarov. Additionally, a Mareva injunction was granted to freeze Tchoubarov’s assets, and special costs were awarded to Kononova, with the exact amount pending assessment.
