Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1. Employment Law Update
Welcome to Novembers edition of our monthly employment law
update from the HR Division of Lander Associates. We hope
you found last months update useful. For our new readers Paul
Marsh, our Head of HR, will be sharing updates, case studies November 2011
and more with you each month.
Chancellor’s announcement on unfair dismissal and tribunal fees
The Chancellor, George Osborne, announced in his speech at the Conservative Party conference that the unfair
dismissal qualifying period will rise from one to two years and that fees will be introduced in the employment
tribunals.
Further details emerged in a BIS press release, which confirmed that the unfair dismissal change will come into
effect on 6 April 2012, although there is no mention yet of any transitional provisions for existing employees. There
is no further official announcement on tribunal fees, although predictions are emerging in the press.
Nick Clegg advocates “protected conversations”
Nick Clegg has suggested that businesses should be free to have frank discussions with staff about their
performance and future retirement without fear of employment tribunal proceedings. It is reported that the Minister
for Employment Relations, Consumer and Postal Affairs, Ed Davey is currently drawing up proposals under which
such "protected conversations" would not be able to be used by employees in future litigation.
Giving a reference when there are outstanding allegations
Employers are under no duty to provide their employees or former employees with a reference in most cases.
However, if they do provide one, they owe a duty of care to the individual when preparing it, and may be sued for
damages in negligence if they breach that duty. As a result of case law, the reference needs to be true, accurate
and fair. Fairness, in this context, means that it should not be misleading overall.
In Jackson v Liverpool City Council, The Court of Appeal held that Liverpool could not be criticised for providing a
reference which referred to allegations against Mr Jackson as it had made it clear that the allegations had not been
investigated. This meant that the reference was both true and accurate, and the Court of Appeal could not see how
Liverpool could have honestly answered the questions in the reference without referring to the allegations.
No such thing as "self-dismissal"
In Zulhayir v JJ Food Service Ltd, Mr Zulhayir started employment with JJ Food Service Limited (JJ) on 1 November
2001. He had an accident while at work in January 2005 and went on sick leave. Mr Zulhayir provided sick notes
until 25 June 2006, after which JJ wrote to him by letter dated 28 June 2006 claiming that they had tried to contact
him, but were unsuccessful, and asking him to confirm whether he still wanted to work for JJ. If he did not provide
that confirmation by 5 July 2006, the letter stated that his employment would be terminated "by [his] own volition".
The letter was returned unopened to JJ, which made no further attempt to contact Mr Zulhayir. In fact, Mr Zulhayir
had moved in January 2006, but had not informed JJ of his new address.
On 20 May 2009, a copy of JJ's letter dated 28 June 2006 to Mr Zulhayir at his new address. This was the first time
that he had seen this letter. On 28 July 2009, Mr Zulhayir lodged his unfair dismissal claim.
It was ruled that JJ's letter of 28 June 2006 could not be considered to be an acceptance of Mr Zulhayir’s
resignation. The result was that no effective steps had been taken by either party to terminate the employment
contract until the letter from Kennedys dated 20 May 2009 reached Mr Zulhayir. That was the first time that Mr
Zulhayir learned that JJ no longer wished to be bound by his employment contract. He then accepted that state of
affairs by commencing a tribunal claim against JJ.

2. Employment Law update
Only a variation in contracts where a transfer is the sole or
principal reason will breach TUPE regulations
When employees’ contracts are varied after a company has been Page 2
transferred the question is
not whether their conditions would have been the same “but for” the
transfer, but whether the transfer itself was the sole or principal reason for the change.
In this case, the claimants worked fewer hours per week than full time colleagues but were paid at the full time rate.
After the company was TUPE transferred, their new employer decided that the claimants had been overpaid in error
and reduced their pay. The claimants agreed to their pay being changed to reflect that they worked part time but
then brought claims in the Employment Tribunal claiming the variations in their contract were void because the
reason for the variations was the relevant TUPE transfer. The Tribunal found that the TUPE transfer was not the
principal reason for the variation.
Whether a variation of terms and conditions was by reason of the transfer is a question of fact and tribunals will look
for the actual reason for the change and what caused the employer to make the change.
Employees allowed to carry over holiday accrued during sickness absences to following leave
year. Adams and another V Harwich International Port Ltd confirms again that those who cannot take their holiday
in one year because of sickness is entitled to carry it over to the following holiday year. This follows a European
Court of justice ruling even though it is against the provisions in our current Working Time Regulations.
Should interns be paid the National Minimum Wage?
Revised guidelines on the payment of NMW to interns and volunteers have been issued by the Department for
Business Innovation and Skills.
The Government is currently encouraging organisations to pay interns whether they qualify under the NMW Act or
not. HMRC is said to be considering enforcement in sectors where internships are commonplace. Organisations
who offer unpaid internships should take note of the guidelines. More info can be found at businesslink.gov.uk.
Question of the month:
Can we request a letter from an employee stating dates and times they had off for medical
treatment. Can we also call the surgery to verify appointments with the doctor?
You can require proof of the appointments if you feel you need it. However, be careful as this may indicate a lack of
trust on your part and could be a breach of the implied duty of trust and confidence and contribute to a constructive
dismissal claim. If you have grounds to believe they are being untruthful then you could make your enquiries as
part of a disciplinary investigation.
Strict rules apply in respect of contacting doctors and there will also be data protection issues, which in reality
means that you are unlikely to get much information from the doctor.
This employment update is provided for
general information only and should not
be applied to specific circumstances
without advice.
