Normally you would try to "prove the misfeasance" of a public official. In this case the essential ingredients of the tort are;
1. The defendant must be a public officer
2. The conduct complained of must be in the exercise of power as a public officer
3. The third requirement concerns the state of mind of the defendant. There are two forms of the tort (a) targeted malice which is conduct specifically intended to injure a person or persons and (b) untargeted malice where the officer acts knowing that he has no power to do the act complained of andthat it will probably injure the claimant. In both limbs of the tort the claimant needs to prove bad faith/dishonesty. Subjective recklessness is a form of bad faith because it means that the public official is acting otherwise than in an honest attempt to perform the relevant duty.
4. Claimant must have sufficient legal standing to sue (i.e. must have been personally affected by the tort).
5. Causation - the defendant's act or omission must have caused the damage. Damage must be "material damage" usually consequential financial loss, but also includes recognised psychiatric injury.
6. Remoteness - only need to prove that (a) the act was beyond defendant's powers and (b) it would probably damage the claimant.
The difficulty with proving misfeasance is in the mental element of the tort. It can be difficult to prove the bad faith element required by this tort. No bad faith means no misfeasnace.

I believe you need a simple majority (51%) of the shareholdings to agree to the motion for it to happen. The only other way is if you can prove "misfeasance" which is where a director fails to carry out his fudiciary duties (duty of care) in the running of the business.

Is misfeasance a medical term?
The word misfeasance is a legal term. But you might hear it relating to medicine or nursing. It means a transgression, especially with abuse of a person's authority. Most of the transgressions in nursing fall under physical torts-- for example, if a nurse has no order for 4-point hard restraints but applies them because the nurse is frustrated with the patient. Misfeasance example might be if a nurse refuses to report a patient's complaint of a medication side effect and tells the patient "You must take the drug because the doctor ordered it."Note: Malfeasance is a related word in law, but it pertains to a public official committing a wrongdoing. For example, a mayor bars a council member from speaking out about how the mayor is mismanaging public money might be malfeasance.
