Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) The circuit court of the county where a corporation’s principal office is located or if the principal office is not in this state where its registered office is or was last located, may remove a director of the corporation from office in a proceeding commenced either by the corporation or by its shareholders holding at least 10 percent of the outstanding shares of any class if the court finds that:

(a) The director engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct or gross abuse of authority or discretion with respect to the corporation; and

(b) Removal is in the best interest of the corporation.
