Their comments come in the wake of a legal dispute between USP Group and its shareholders who had sought an EGM to remove directors of the company.
The High Court ruled last month that USP Group’s requisitioning shareholders did not have standing to requisition such a meeting, pursuant to section 176 of the Companies Act (CA).
