Common shareholders need to start their own class action based on SC decision and recent findings or document discovery. Ps already either lost out or have it covered. Commons need to look out for themselves. U will get nowhere with conflicting interests, and certainly get no resolve on the internet. Just comfort in agreeing on all the things wrong. Sort of a joke really.
The argument is that shareholders were entitled to dividends when earnings exceeded the 10% dividend. This would have happened in several quarters during the period after the NWS was imposed.
The NWS also precludes payment of future dividends, essentially transferring those dividends to Treasury. This seems like a pretty direct injury.
