Facts
In Plus Group Ltd did not like one of its partners, Mr Pyke. Mr Pyke refused to resign. The others tried to squeeze him out, by excluding him from management and severing his salary. Mr Pyke set up his own new company, and he got a lucrative contract with one of its major customers. In Plus then sued him for breach of fiduciary duty. They argued that he had procured a corporate opportunity for himself, when he owed it to the company.
