The Legal Risk Score of a Consent to Short Notice of Annual General Meeting Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • Agreeing to this document allows an annual general meeting to be called with less notice than usually required, which might not provide sufficient time for all members to prepare or adjust their schedules to attend the meeting.
  • The document does not specify the minimum notice period being waived, which could lead to ambiguity and potential misunderstandings about the urgency and importance of the meeting content.
