British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Brown v. Dee Lake Resort Ltd., 2012 BCSC 647 (CanLII):
The words "oppressive" and "unfairly prejudicial" have been further distinguished by this court in that the focus with regard to "oppression" has been seen to be on the character of the conduct complained of while the focus in considering what is said to be "unfairly prejudicial" has been on the effect of the impugned conduct on the injured shareholder. (Urquhart v. Technovision Systems Inc., 2002 BCSC 172).
