Solomon Lew is turning to the law in his battle with department store Myer.
His company, Premier Investments Limited, has advised it has requested a copy of Myer's register of members.
The request falls under several sections of the Corporations Act 2001.
Premier has requested these registers in order to consider writing to Myer’s members in relation to any resolutions proposed at Myer’s AGM this year.
It follows an ongoing bid bid to overhaul Myer's board by Premier, which has a stake in the Myer business.
Last month, Lew blasted the department store after posted a full-year net loss.
“The Board of Myer is an absolute disgrace," he said.
“Garry Hounsell today admitted that Myer shareholders deserve better. For once, Mr Hounsell, we agree. Since Mr Hounsell took up his role, Myer’s share price has halved.
“Meanwhile, Myer shareholders have spent the last year paying for Garry Hounsell’s retail traineeship.
“Mr Hounsell must step down immediately or risk having his Board spilled by a strong shareholder revolt at the upcoming AGM."
