Abstract:
Under s 246(1) of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (2020 Rev Ed), shareholders may petition in Singapore to wind up a foreign company on the ground that it is just and equitable to do so. Against the backdrop of a dearth of Singapore and English case authorities, this article considers the Hong Kong cases in this area and the principles that may be derived therefrom should a similar petition be brought before the Singapore courts.
