2.9 Individual and Collective Rights of Shareholders

The individual rights (the exercisable-alone): the meeting-and-vote rights (the notice's receipt, the attendance, the speaking, the poll's demand-where-prescribed); the informationrights (the accounts'-and-registers' inspection, the documents' copies); the dividend's right (the declared-distribution's claim); the transfer's rights (the share's alienation — the s.139-approved world of LAW5404's cases); the pre-emption faces (the rights issues); the minority's ownactions: the personal-action (the own-right's violation: the dividends'-withholding, the register's- and-transfer's wrongs), the derivative action (the company's cause in the member's hand — Unit 4.7), the oppression-and-protection petitions (Unit 4.6), the just-and-equable winding-up's petition face (LAW5404's winding unit), and the class-and-representative faces of the modern practice. The collective rights (the majority's-or-the prescribed-proportions'): the requisition's faces (the meeting's-and-the-resolution's demands), the special-resolution's powers, the audit-and-inspection's collective demands, and the removal's-and-appointment's collective sovereignty. The exam's synthesis: the individual's sword (the vote-and-suit), the collective's crown (the majority rule — with Unit 4's minority-protection limits).
