A delegator is a party who transfers his or her obligation under a contract to another
party.
Brock is a shareholder of Competent Homebuilders Corporation (CHC). For the last
few years, business has not been profitable for CHC. The firm has lost money on its
operations. There has been some profit through sales of company assets, but the board
of directors has refused to declare a dividend. This last year, the firm’s accountants
failed to file federal income tax returns and the board refused to pay the tax. Brock
takes a close look at the firm and protests to the board, in particular over the failure to
declare a dividend, but the board ignores the complaint. Which of these events, if any,
would form a ground for a court to order the dissolution of CHC, on Brock’s petition? If
the court denies the petition, could Brock and the other shareholders dissolve CHC?
