Adverse Domination

More legal mumbo jumbo. This is a concept that allows shareholders and/or government agencies to bring legal action against corporate bigwigs (mainly members of the Board of Directors and C-Level execs) for wrongdoing.

If Jack & Jill are the Chairman & CEO, respectively, of publicly-traded Sherpas Unlimited, Inc. (Ticker: HIL), their fiduciary duty is to maximize profits (and, therefore, shareholder value) by executing the corporate strategy of helping clients carry their belongings to the tops of mountains. If, after a traumatic fall, they decide to no longer fulfill their duties, and knowingly hire a yodeling sherpa who consistently leads clients over the edge of mountains and into injurious situations...and HIL's stock price falls off a cliff...adverse domination would allow for Jack & Jill to be held legally liable for any financial damage done to shareholders.

Also a Fifty Shades thing but, um, we won't go there.
