The Privy Council also upheld earlier conclusions that Barthley\u2019s son, Zorol Barthley, was entitled to 5% of the shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barthley, who founded PIC, a general insurance provider, in 2002, passed away in late 2005. His estate, along with his son Zorol, claimed that all shareholders had agreed that they would receive shares in the company. However, some shareholders of PIC disputed this and refused to allot the shares.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2979101340\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_0783\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2019, Judge Rita Joseph-Olivetti ruled in favor of the Barthleys, stating that PIC&#8217;s failure to distribute the shares was &#8220;unfairly prejudicial&#8221; to their interests. Judge Joseph-Olivetti found that Barthley had clearly communicated to prospective investors his intention to retain a 51% shareholding, an arrangement that was part of his commitment to the company and its growth. In a direct reference to the three witnesses presented by PIC, the Judge opined that it took painstaking precision to extract the truth, even when faced with obvious facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2021, the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal also dismissed PIC&#8217;s appeal, agreeing with the findings of the lower court. The court highlighted Barthley\u2019s significant, unpaid contributions to the company, including his four and a half years of dedication to building the business.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1370722060\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_1115\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On appeal, PIC argued that the issue was not solely a &#8220;question of fact&#8221; but involved legal matters related to the interpretation of board meeting minutes and other documents.
