The remaining assets in the estates consisted of shares in three privately owed corporations who owned significant real estate assets, including multi-unit residential dwellings across Southwestern Ontario. The estates initiated an oppression remedy claim against the real estate holding corporations and their multiple shareholders, officers and directors seeking an order that the corporations to be wound up, the assets sold, and proceeds to be distributed to the shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dispute was ultimately settled through negotiation in 2020 after the Foundations were brought in to a related action by the defendant corporations. The settlement brought an end to the longstanding litigation by the estates and an order for the voluntary dissolution of two of the corporations, with the Foundations receiving the proceeds of redemption for the estates\u2019 shares in the third corporation. The Foundations also received over $20 million in additional funds after the completion of the sale of real estate assets, wind-up and distribution process. William Dahms, and in his absence, Andrew Roth, of Miller Thomson was appointed by the Court as Monitor on behalf of the Foundations for the duration of the Wind-Up Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miller Thomson represented the Foundations in the successful negotiations with a team led by Rohit Kumar (Estates Litigation).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","class_list":["post-3828","deals-cases","type-deals-cases","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is
