RESOLUTIONS

to the Registrar, to be recorded; and that copies of all 
such resolutions or agreements in force must, when 
articles have been registered, be embodied in or 
annexed to every copy of the articles issued after the 
passing of the resolution, or making of the agreement. 
In case no articles have been registered, a member is 
entitled to have a printed copy of every such resolution 
or agreement forwarded to him on payment of a sum not 
exceeding Is. There are penalties for default in obeying 
these provisions. 
A resolution (whether ordinary, extraordinary, special or 
by directors) should be clearly expressed and should deal 
definitely with the result intended to be attained, providing 
as may be necessary for the means by which the result is to 
be attained, and for the consequences that will follow. If a 
resolution required by the Act is to be passed, it should follow 
the wording of the Act. 
Thus a resolution to increase the capital should define the 
nature of the new shares: a resolution to pay a dividend 
should, besides stating the amount, state the day on and 
the period in respect of which it is to be paid, and the members 
to whom it is to be paid (e.g. those on the register on a fixed 
day). 
A few common forms, both of directors’ resolutions and of 
shareholders’ resolutions, are given below, and may be 
adapted to meet the requirements of particular cases.
