company law, how would you answer ABC Company Ltd. is a private company engaged in the
manufacturing of garments. It has four directors, Tom, Betty, Paul and James. The company has
monthly board meetings, which Tom is only able to attend every four months because he resides
abroad. Tom an accountant and signatory to the company accounts signed blank cheques and left
them with the company's accountant any time he is around. The accountant has embezzled $20
million and has absconded. ABC Company entered into a contract with Equip Ltd. for the supply
of equipment to their new production centre. Paul who is a director and major shareholder of
Equip Ltd did not disclose his interest in Equip at the time the board took the decision to enter
into the contract. James who has an interest in research discovered a synthetic fabric and he
persuaded the board to invest in the manufacture of the fabric. The board refused stating that it
was a risky venture even after James informed them of the high profit return. James has decided
to manufacture the fabric on his own and is making good profit. The board of ABC has decided
to sell a parcel of land it acquired some years ago to Betty's sister at a price far below the current
market value. They justified their action to the shareholders in general meeting by a presentation
in which they showed that the company was having cash flow problems due to the money
embezzled by the Accountant. Peter, a minority ordinary shareholder even though he did not
receive notice of the meeting stood up to ask questions at the meeting and to demand poll vote.
The chairman of the meeting asked him to shut up and sit down. Advise the company on the
issues raised.
