Territorial Extent and Devolution Chapter 1: Appointment and Removal of Directors Section 160: Appointment of directors of public company to be voted on individually.
287.This restates section 292 of the 1985 Act: the appointment of each proposed director of a public company must be voted on individually unless there is unanimous agreement to a block resolution. Without such consent, any appointment of a director that is not voted on individually is void. This ensures that members can express their disapproval of any particular director without having to reject the entire board.
