FAQ
In many companies, the power to remove a director from office is granted to the board of directors or to most of the shareholders under the company's articles of association. For these companies, removing a director will require the board or most of the shareholders to serve written notice on the director in question.
As per the 2013 Act, the removal of a director can only take place during a general meeting through the approval of an ordinary resolution. Notably, this condition is applicable unless the director in question was appointed either through proportional representation or under section 163.

The statutory provision allowing any director to be removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders is in Section 168 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA06). Importantly, the resolution must be proposed at a formal shareholders' meeting and cannot be passed as a written resolution.
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. The Director is entitled to be heard on the resolution at the meeting and it may be contested.
Shareholder Vote - In many jurisdictions, directors can be removed by a majority vote of the shareholders. If the company's bylaws allow, shareholders can call a meeting and vote to remove the director, even if they do not consent.
