Critically analyse the following statement:The rights afforded to minority shareholders under the Companies Act are very limited, and often shareholders use other ways to protect their interests. But more minority shareholder protection is not necessarily a better solution. Company law must balance between different interests so that not a “maximum”, but an “optimum” level of shareholder protection can be found.
