The Legal Risk Score of a Directors' Resolution to Appoint Representative (Section 250D) (Circulating Resolution) Template is Low

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

  • There is a risk associated with the broad powers granted to the appointed representative, including signing for all resolutions and exercising all powers in meetings, which might lead to actions that could not align with all stakeholders' interests.
  • The document does not specify any criteria or qualifications for the representative, potentially leading to the appointment of an individual who may not be adequately equipped to handle the responsibilities.
  • The resolution relies on the unanimous agreement of all officeholders, which could be difficult to achieve in practice, potentially delaying important decisions.
