[edit] Notable History

Ferguson was involved in a lawsuit in 1983 which was brought by his ex-wife, who had been part of the founding team of IMAX. The claim involved a series of oppressive acts by Ferguson and his colleagues including a resolution to discharge her from the company and being pressured to sell back her shares. Brooke JA writing for the Court of Appeal found that the acts were tantamount to oppression and the resolution was barred. The court found that majority shareholders owe a fiduciary duty to minority shareholders. Ferguson v. Imax Systems Corp. (1983), 43 O.R. (2d) 128 (C.A.).
