Removing a director
Members and directors have the power to remove a director.
Removal by members
To remove a director, members must:
- Provide the corporation with a notice for a resolution to remove a director at least 21 days before the next general meeting (or AGM).
- Give the director concerned a copy of the notice as soon as possible.
The director has the right to give the corporation a written statement and speak at the meeting.
This statement must be distributed to everyone who gets a notice of the meeting.
Removal by directors
Directors can only remove a fellow director if the director has failed to attend 3 or more directors’ meetings in a row, without a reasonable excuse.
Directors must give the director:
- a written notice
- 14 days to object in writing.
If the director objects, they cannot be removed by the other directors alone. The removal must then be decided at a general meeting through a resolution.
