On 20 September 2023, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council allowed the appellant’s claim in FamilyMart China Holding Co Ltd v Ting Chuan (Cayman Islands) Holding Corporation [2023] UKPC 33.
This appeal raises the question whether an agreement to settle disputes arising out of a shareholders’ agreement by arbitration may prevent a party to that agreement from pursuing a petition to wind up the company whose management is the focus of those disputes.
