In Yen v. Yu, the parties were equal shareholders in the company, which operated a retail store, and they both worked in the business. A dispute arose between the parties and the store was unilaterally closed by one of the parties. After several months, that party reopened the store and operated it to the exclusion of the other party. It was held that the closure of the store was both oppressive and unfairly prejudicial to the excluded party as a shareholder.
