Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rea v. Wildeboer, 2014 ONSC 2740 (CanLII):
First, I do accept that where oppression is found, and other defendants have knowingly received benefits as a result of the oppression, a remedy against that party for accepting the benefits rectifies the oppressive actions: Holden v. Infolink Technologies Ltd., [2006] O.J. No. 638 (S.C.), aff’d [2007] O.J. No. 272 (Div. Ct.).
