Suing a Family Member Is Never Easy
November 24th, 2009 | 
Author: Handling oppression actions means being involved in family fights; it’s simply the nature of the business. While not all closely held businesses are family-owned, many are. And family-owned businesses tend to have more problems than other types of businesses, since interpersonal issues frequently mix with the business end, often to toxic result.
If you are reading this, and you have your own issue regarding a family-owned business, then this is nothing new or unexpected. Whether the majority shareholders are cheating you out of money that should be coming to you, lying about income, over-compensating themselves, or whether you have been oppressed because the majority shareholders have terminated your employment (which may be actionable oppression under certain circumstances),[1] the thought of suing your own family members may be unnerving.Â
