166: Costs of derivative action to be met by company
or “Company may have to pay costs for shareholder or director's legal action on its behalf”
You could also call this:

“Court's powers when allowing legal action about a company”

If a court allows you or another shareholder or director to start or join a legal case about a company, the court can make different decisions about how that case will be managed. These decisions can be made at any time during the case.

The court might let you or someone else be in charge of how the case is run. They can also give instructions on what should happen in the case.

If the court thinks it’s needed, they can tell the company or its directors to give information or help with the case.

Sometimes, if the case ends with someone having to pay money, the court can decide that this money should go to people who own or used to own shares in the company, instead of to the company itself.

The court can make other decisions too, not just the ones mentioned here, to make sure the case is handled fairly.
