What is required to remove a director?

• A. Special notice of 28 days
• B. Ordinary notice of 7 days
• C. No notice is required
• D. A unanimous vote of all shareholders

Answer: (A)

In company law, removing a director is done by ordinary resolution at a general meeting, but you must give special notice of the intention to propose the removal at least 28 days before that meeting. This 28-day special notice ensures the director has time to prepare a response and present their side. Ordinary notice of 7 days isn’t enough, and removal doesn’t require a unanimous vote of all shareholders—the decision is by ordinary resolution, which only needs a simple majority.
