What kinds of court orders can a judge make if oppression is found in Ontario?

Ontario's Business Corporations Act gives courts very broad discretion to craft whatever order is needed to rectify proven oppression, rather than limiting them to a fixed menu of remedies. Common orders include requiring a share buyout at fair value, restraining the conduct complained of going forward, varying or setting aside a corporate transaction (such as a share issuance or contract found to be part of the unfair conduct), appointing or removing directors, directing the corporation to produce financial records or an accounting, and awarding compensation for losses the oppressive conduct caused.

Because the remedy is meant to fit the specific unfairness found, courts can combine several of these in one order, or fashion something more tailored to the facts if a standard remedy wouldn't fully address the harm. This flexibility is one of the reasons the oppression remedy is considered so powerful compared to an ordinary contract or negligence claim, but it also means the outcome of an oppression case is harder to predict in advance, since so much depends on what a court considers a fair response to the particular conduct proven.
