Abstract
Abstract In accordance with their general powers of management the board of directors of a company are empowered to convene general meetings of members whenever they consider it to be in the best interests of the company to do so and whenever it is necessary. Prior to CA 2006 such meetings were known as extraordinary general meetings so as to distinguish them from the annual general meeting which used to be compulsory for both public and private companies. Under CA 2006 the term ‘extraordinary general meeting’ is no longer used. It is replaced by the generic term ‘general meeting’. The power to convene a meeting is to be found in the articles of association and appears, for example, in reg 37 of the 1985 Table A.
