3| The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,July 5,2018 theifp.ca An Ontario Superior Court Justice ruled in fa- vour of the Club at North Halton last week in a class- action lawsuit filed against it by a shareholder. Justice Benjamin Glus- tein ruled in a Toronto court on June 21 that the share sale programs of- fered by North Halton in 2015 were not oppressive, unfairly prejudicial or un- fairly disregarded the in- terests of the class, nor did they constitute breaches of the duty of care and fidu- ciary duty owed to the club by its directors. "North Halton submit- ted that there was no evi- dence of oppressive or un- fair conduct and that its board exercised its busi- ness judgment in the best interests of Halton, in fur- therance of its fiduciary duty," the club said in a statement. "The Court's decision reinforces North Halton's role as an important com- munity hub for George- town and the surrounding area." The motion for summa- ry judgment had been brought by Peter Noble in 2015, claiming the legal ac- tion was based on a num- ber of issues, including that North Halton's cur- rent share exchange pro- gram is "a wealth transfer machine," resulting in eco- nomic loss to a group of 122 non-golfing and non-mem- ber shareholders, many of whom were looking to di- vest their shares in the venerable century-old club. The class action also asked the court that the ownership structure of the for-profit Club at North Halton, which operates a golf course, curling and dining facilities, be dis- solved and its net assets distributed among all shareholders.
