Written Resolution definition
What does Written Resolution mean?
The CA 2006 prescribes that a private company limited by shares can pass resolutions at a general meeting of its shareholders, or as written resolutions in accordance with the procedure prescribed (CA 2006, s 281). Public companies limited by shares cannot pass written resolutions at all, even if their articles of association purport to authorise them to do so. A written resolution is passed when the required majority of eligible members have signified their agreement to it. Any provisions in a company’s articles of association attempting to prevent a resolution being passed as a written resolution is void.
