FAQ

Anyone can own shares in a company and in as many registered companies as they wish but you must have attained the age of 18 years, be of sound mind and not an undischarged bankrupt. You should not in any way have been disqualified by the law to own shares or be a member of a company.
Action could be taken against a Director for any act that causes damage to a company business or investment. A Director could be sued directly. Shareholders can sue a Director for breach of any of their duties or for negligence. (Section 232 (2) CA 2009). When a Director understands their duties and performs their duties with care, the investment would be protected. A Director could be used to recover damages for loss suffered as a result of breach on their part.
No matter how many shares you hold you are still protected under the law. Before the amendment of the companies act 2009, she would have had so many restrictions but now..it's different. With 10% or less of shares or rights in a company she has a right to inspect documents relating to any transaction. It does not matter if it's for a law suit or not. (Section 120 (2) CAAmendment 2014).
Whether a shareholder or member is a man or a woman these laws apply to everyone. If the company denies Fanta the right to inspect the documents all she would have to do is to inform the Commission in writing and a directive would be given. As a shareholder she can have access to any documents she needs; New section 120 (2) of the Companies (amendment) act 2014 makes that very clear. Whether or not Fanta is going to initiate a law suit, and irrespective of the number of shares she holds, she can inspect any document relating to any transaction of the company and the company has to make it available.
