Briefly, the answer is yes, but in all cases, the minority shareholder may mount a legal challenge to block any attempted buyout.

Firstly, the majority shareholder can vote to introduce clauses into the Company's Articles allowing the expropriation of the shares of the minority shareholders.

Secondly, where a sufficient percentage of shares is already held, the majority shareholder may force the compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares under Sections 428-430F of the Companies Act 1985. (Please note that some changes were made to these provisions in the Companies Act 2006 and different rules now apply to buyout bids and takeovers made after 6 April 2007)
