Over Taylor Biggs

The problem arose from s282 Companies Act 2006 which says that an ordinary resolution passed at a meeting requires the support of a simple majority of members.  At the same time, s284 provides, in effect, for one vote for each shareholder.  Queries were then raised as to whether this meant that the Chairman could not have more than one vote, thus questioning the ability of the Chair to cast a deciding vote on the event of a tied shareholder vote.  This query has now been addressed and the position is as pre-October 2007.
