The Legal Risk Score of a Notice of a Director's Interest Template is Low

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

  • There is a risk that the notice might not fully capture the extent or nature of the director's interest if not described comprehensively, potentially leading to incomplete disclosures.
  • The document does not specify the consequences or actions to be taken following the disclosure, which may lead to uncertainty about the next steps after the notice is tabled.
  • The timing for when the notice is to be tabled is specified as the "next available meeting," which could introduce delays or ambiguity regarding the urgency and processing of the information.
