The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991: Who is - and who is not - a director?
Practice Area: Directors
Sector: Business services
Jurisdiction: Channel Islands-Jersey
Published: 14 October 2011
Law Firm: Mourant Ozannes
Overview
The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 sets out the meaning of "director" in these terms: "'director' means a person occupying the position of director, by whatever name called".
It is a definition that is, paradoxically, both straightforward and circular and it raises issues that are difficult enough to need to have been considered by the Supreme Court in a recent case about a similar English law provision.
In this briefing, Mourant Ozannes explains why these are issues that need to be thought about by anyone concerned with managing a company. Click 'View Briefing' to read more.
