The contract claim is dismissed.

1 have decided that the EGM was invalid in its entirety and all resolutions passed at it are void. The purported ratification of the ordinary resolutions is invalid. The result is that Dr. Chen has been since the EGM and is still a director of Fortuna, and that the articles have not been amended in the manner proposed at the EGM. Dr. Chen has a present right to receive all the information to which he would have been entitled since the EGM by virtue of his directorship. He may not be removed from the board except by strict compliance with Fortuna's articles and the law of the Cayman Islands.

The parties are at liberty to speak to costs if they are unable to agree. Henderson, J. 150331 Tempo v Fortuna Judgment Page 139 of 139
