https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96561 Demanded poll under company articles constitutes a legal continuation of the original general meeting, rather than a separate meeting. Where the poll cannot be taken at the appointed time, the chairman must fix another time or otherwise ensure that it is conducted, giving voters and candidates a reasonable opportunity to participate. Director vacancies cannot be treated as unfilled merely because the initial poll failed; a provision permitting co-optation after a meeting terminates does not apply until the meeting has legally concluded. Co-optation inconsistent with the articles is ultra vires and cannot be validated by ordinary majority action. Individual shareholders may seek relief where illegal action infringes their right to elect management and internal remedies are inadequate or impracticable. en-us Thu, 29 Jan 1931 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:11:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96561 Demanded poll under company articles constitutes a legal continuation of the original general meeting, rather than a separate meeting.
