QUESTION 3 (a):
ISSUES RAISED BY THE SCENARIO:
(i) Executive Directors are entitled to salaries/remuneration. This is usually provided in their contract of service — s. 268 (1) CAMA. So it is not illegal. Even the non-executive may be paid salaries, as may be determined by the general meeting — s. 267 (i) CAMA
(ii) Divided is only paid when it is declared. If the company declared NO dividend, the directors cannot pay dividend. And if no dividend is declared, shareholders are not entitled to it. A shareholder is only entitled to dividend when dividend is declared: s. 379 CAMA
(iii) Mr. Timpreye has a personal right to be invited to all general meetings of the company. Failure to invite him is a breach. And the meeting and all its proceeding are VOIDABLE at his instance. He can sue for declaration and injunction — see 1. 300 (1) (c) CAMA and s. 310 CAMA. See also Pender v. Lushington
(iv) A director can be removed at a general meeting and another appointed in his place — see s. 262 CAMA
QUESTION 3 (b):

QUESTION 3 (c):
Emeka is liable for the fraud, if found guilty 157 (3) and (4) CAMA.
(1) If company is found to have connived with Emeka of is otherwise in default, it will be liable, but it is not in this case, except evidence of negligence/default is shown against the company
(2) Company is stopped from denying the truth or accuracy of statements in share certificates issued by it, so company cannot deny Nnamdi`s title to the shares147 (1) CAMA
(3) Nnamdi is owner of the share by virtue of his being a bona fide purchaser for value without notice
(4) Emeka is liable to indemnify the commandant for any loss in this respect147 (3) CAMA
QUESTION 4 (a) (i):
Comment on the grounds for the removal of Mr Achike:
—– Appointment of auditor is by the general meeting. So ground one is invalid s. 357 CAMA. Only the first appointment 9for a newly established company) is made by the Board
—– Mr Achike`s affinity with ICAN is not relevant to his removal as auditor. That ground is therefore invalid
——- the fact that Mr. Achike has had previous dealings with the company in 2009 as Budget Analyst is a valid ground see s.358 CAMA: a person shall not qualify for appointment as company auditor if
(1) He is a servant/officer of the company
(2) He is a partner in the Firm of a servant/officer of the company
(3) He is connected with or to the company in any manner
QUESTION 4 (a) (ii):
The refusal is NOT valid. This is because auditors hold their appointment from one AGM to the next AGM, and can only be removed at an AGM of the company the removal by the Board is invalid and so ineffective. Therefore, being still an auditor, he is entitled to attend the next AGM — 357 CAMA
QUESTION 4 (a) (iii):
Procedure adopted in removing him was invalid. By virtue of 362 CAMA, only the general meeting has power to remove company auditor. Purported removal by the Board is invalid
QUESTION 4 (a) (iv):
PROCEDURE FOR REMOVAL OF A COMPANY AUDITOR:
(1) Those proposing removal will give 28-day special notice of it
(2) Company on receipt of the notice, will give the auditor concerned a 7-day notice
(3) Company shall convene a general meeting. Notice of meeting must be sent to all entitled, including the concerned auditor, and must be accompanied by any representation/defence made by the auditor concerned
(4) At the general meeting, pass an ordinary resolution removing the auditor
(5) File notice of removal with CAC within 14 days
(6) Auditor is entitled to compensation for wrongful removal
QUESTION 4 (b):
(i) Chief Femson`s first argument/ground holds NO water; if after FIVE minutes of commencing of any Board meeting, the chairman is not present, the Board may elect one of their own to act as Chairman. This is what was done here. And it was right — s. 263 (4) CAMA
(ii) Board meeting may be held anywhere in the world — see 263 (1). So Chief Femson is also wrong on the second ground
QUESTION 4 (c):
There is nothing wrong in being the Company Secretary and a Director at the same in the same company. But acts required to be done by a director and the secretary must be done by two separate individuals; it cannot be done by one person acting as both director and the secretary 294 CAMA
QUESTION 4 (d):
Every Director of a company is entitled to be given at least 14 days native of every Boar meeting, except the director is otherwise disqualified from attending the meeting 266 (1) and (2) CAMA. Failure to invite a director who is entitled renders the meeting and all its proceedings void.— 266 (1) CAMA. Failure to give Mr Kayode notice of the meeting invalidates the meeting. See also Longe v. First Bank.
