Companies Act 2014 section 1204A

Disapplication of section 181(5)(d) in respect of certain CLGs

Section 1204A provides that the requirement to include proxy appointment information in general meeting notices does not apply to companies limited by guarantee whose constitutions prohibit the appointment of proxies.

• Section 181(5)(d) normally requires that notices of general meetings include a statement informing members of their right to appoint a proxy.
• This requirement is disapplied for companies limited by guarantee (CLGs) where the CLG's constitution does not permit members to appoint proxies.
• If there is no right to appoint a proxy under the CLG's constitution, there is no obligation to include proxy information in meeting notices.
• This provision was introduced by the Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Act 2021.
