Tribunal takes no nonsense with director removals

Section 71 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Act) sets out the process of removing a director of a company. Usually, subsections 3 and 4 would apply, which prescribe (i) a shareholder or board resolution authorising such removal; and (ii) prior notice of such resolution being given to the affected director. In the case of Howard N.O v Powell and Another (CT01682ADJ2024) COMPTRI 57 (24 May 2024), the Companies Tribunal (Tribunal) confirmed the process of the alternative mode of removal of a director when there are fewer than three directors in theboard.
