Thank you all for the advice and kind words of support. Ultimately i am responsible for allowing this to get out of hand.

The business is due for a big share payout in 9 months time. If i give up now, i stand to lose out. If i stick it for 9 months, i still have a fighting chance to the payout.

I have decided on the following:
1. I will setup a meeting to discuss the poisonous relationship and the way forward
2. If things turn sour again, i will approach a lawyer for advice on the best way forward (i'd prefer not too due to the costs involved)
3. If there is no winning chance for me, i will sell my interest in the CC with first offer given to my partner.

In the interim, do any of you know of a great lawyer with extensive knowledge in Close Corporations and is reasonably proced?
