10. Litigation 10.1 Frequency of Litigation
11. Activism 11.1 Shareholder Activism
Litigation is not common in M&A deals in Mauritius; instead, most disputes are resolved through mediation and arbitration. 10.2 Stage of Deal Notwithstanding that litigation is relatively uncommon, it may arise at any stage of the deal and even after the deal has closed. 10.3 “Broken-Deal” Disputes To date, there is no record of litigation arising from broken-deal disputes.
Shareholder activism is not an important force in Mau - ritius. It remains relatively limited and there is scarce data on its prevalence. 11.2 Aims of Activists Shareholder activism around M&A, spin-offs or major
divestitures is uncommon in Mauritius. 11.3 Interference With Completion
Although shareholders have rights to challenge announced transactions, activist interference is uncommon in Mauritius, reflecting concentrated own - ership and a relatively small market.
