Section 330: Notice required of termination of proxy's authority

Companies Act 2006 · 2006 c. 46View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 13: Resolutions and meetings — Chapter 3: Resolutions at meetings

In the case of a traded company the termination of the authority of a person to act as proxy must be notified to the company in writing.

The following provisions apply in the case of traded companies and other companies as regards notice that the authority of a person to act as proxy is terminated ("notice of termination").

The termination of the authority of a person to act as proxy does not affect—

whether he counts in deciding whether there is a quorum at a meeting,
the validity of anything he does as chairman of a meeting, or
the validity of a poll demanded by him at a meeting,

unless the company receives notice of the termination before the commencement of the meeting.

The termination of the authority of a person to act as proxy does not affect the validity of a vote given by that person unless the company receives notice of the termination—

before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote is given, or
in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, before the time appointed for taking the poll.

If the company's articles require or permit members to give notice of termination to a person other than the company, the references above to the company receiving notice have effect as if they were or (as the case may be) included a reference to that person.

Any provision of the company's articles is void in so far as it would have the effect of requiring notice of termination to be received by the company or another person earlier than the following time—

in the case of a meeting or adjourned meeting, 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting;
in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it was demanded, 24 hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll;
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In calculating the periods mentioned in subsections (3)(b) and (6) no account shall be taken of any part of a day that is not a working day.
