Companies Act 2014 section 197

Application of this Part to class meetings

Section 197 establishes that the rules governing general meetings also apply, so far as they are relevant, to meetings of a particular class of members within a company.

• All provisions in Part 4 of the Act relating to general meetings extend to class meetings of members, to the extent they are applicable.
• Any rules in the company's own constitution dealing with general meetings similarly apply to class meetings.
• Section 198, insofar as it relates to subsection 4(c) of that section (concerning the registration and supply of certain resolutions), applies in full to class meetings.
• Other provisions of section 198, beyond those relating to subsection 4(c), do not automatically extend to class meetings by virtue of this section.
