问答题Karibo Ltd is a small company with an issued share capital of R100,000 divided into 100,000 shares of R1 each. It has 50 shareholders. Samuel is the managing director of Karibo Ltd. Graphics Ltd, another small company, found out that Karibo Ltd is about to award a five-year contract for the maintenance of its office premises. Graphics Ltd approached Samuel, and offered him what they describe as a facilitation fee of R5,000, to ensure that the contract is awarded to Graphics Ltd. At the next board meeting, Samuel convinces the other directors that awarding the maintenance contract to Graphics Ltd is in the long-term interest of Karibo Ltd and the contract is awarded to Graphics Ltd. At the same board meeting, Samuel also informs the board that Marico Ltd, a competitor, is contemplating taking over Karibo Ltd and that a majority of the existing shareholders might be willing to sell their shares to Marico Ltd if they are offered a good price. In order to prevent it, the board decides to issue additional shares to the directors and make each of the new shares carry ten votes each. The existing shares carry one vote per share. Thomas, an ordinary shareholder in Karibo Ltd, has found out about the facilitation fee to Samuel and the decision to allot weighted shares to the directors. Required: Advise Thomas, whether any action can be taken against Samuel in respect of the facilitation fee, and on the legality of the weighted share allotment. (10 marks)

问答题Apt Ltd is a small independent book company, which specialises in publishing modern poetry. In January 2013 it signed a contract with a new poet, called Bel, to publish her second book of poems in August 2014. In March 2013, Bel won a prestigious award for her first book of poems, which had been published privately. In the light of the fame which now attached to Bel, Apt Ltd launched an extensive advertising campaign publicising the forthcoming book. The campaign was expensive, costing ￡50,000, but it was successful in generating great interest. As a result, Apt Ltd won a contract to supply a large book club with 100,000 copies of the book, which would make them a profit of ￡250,000. Unfortunately in May 2014, Bel informed Apt Ltd that she would not be able to supply the manuscript to it as she had signed a more rewarding contract with Cax plc, a very large publishing company. Required: In the context of Bel’s anticipatory breach of contract, explain any possible remedies open to Apt Ltd. (10 marks)
