From there, your board would take a vote on removing the director.
The Statutory Procedure Removing a company director can be done through a statutory process outlined in sections 168 and 169 of the Companies Act 2006. A shareholder wishing to remove a director must give special notice of their intention to the company, which then has 28 days to call a general meeting.
Section 168 provides that a company can remove a Director by passing an ordinary resolution at a meeting. Special notice is however required. On receipt of notice of an intended resolution to remove a Director, the company must send a copy of the notice to the Director concerned.
