A question: if an AGM or General meeting was called at which it was intended to remove a director, if that director simply chose not to turn up at the meeting, can that director still be removed?

Refer to Part 10 (particularly s 168 & 169) of Companies Act 2006. Make sure proper notice is given. By all means consider any Shareholders'Agreements but remember they cannot override company law. Repeated failure to turn up to Directors' meetings is a breach of fiduciary duties. Simply apply the force of law. If in doubt refer to the Companies Act; when they argue, refer to the Companies Act; did I mention- refer to the Companies Act.
if members/ shareholders call for an e.g.m, in a private limited company club .
who decides the time and date of the meeting

The directors call the meeting; members can require the directors to call a meeting - the directors call the meeting. As mentioned above - refer to the Companies Act (Chapter 3) - it tells you all you need to know.
Question: my ex husband I were equal shareholders in a limited company and both directors. Separation prompted me to leave the matrimonial home. Ex husband “resigned” me as a director through our Accountants without my knowledge or consent. Is this lawful in light of us being equal at all levels in the business? Please advise.. thanks
Hi, I have been a sole director for 7 yrs for the same company name only due to the owner being struck off the register and to save the company and its employers I become director over night - I have had no financial input or output . It is a limited company held by shares his wife . He was not to have any financial connections with the practices whatsoever - I have opened up 6 practices over the past few years - He and his wife who are now separated are fighting for the practices , she being the share holder - I don't know who to trust -He has been very disloyal to me and have verbally abused me and used my good name over the years - I have sided with his wife - he has taken me off as director without my consent - he has appointed a young nurse as director who has only qualified this year - He has sent me a termination email and he has also sent me a lawyer letter - Dental surgery vs Ms Ferrier - I am so distraught about the whole situation - our defence lawyer for the practices says that he can't remove me without me signing- can he remove me without my signature - I know over the years he has signed my signature . I am assuming removal was done electronically but is there a procedure he is supposed to follow or require my consent or signature to terminate me?:| Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
One year ago my business partner decided to cash some funds from the bank and leave one of our companies without notice. We were both 50/50 shareholders and both directors. A year later and now closing the company, I noticed he removed himself as a director last year and never communicated about this. Can he do that? The company has many financial responsibilities and I am the sole director now... Please help!

What if no notice of intention to the company was given proposing the resolution for Special notice.
Only to be removed as a Director whilst on holiday with no prior knowledge.
What would be my options?
Hi, a question: I'm a 50% shareholder of a limited company and a director. I have a dispute with the other 50% shareholder (non-director) on grounds of embezzlement of company assets. This shareholder has resigned as a director a year ago. Now the company has two directors who would like to remove this person.
I have not taken this person to the court yet, because we are in the process of negotiations to return the money and depart amicably - which is not going well.
Meanwhile, I would like to remove this person from the signatory mandate of the bank. I would not like to notify the bank about the dispute because then they will freeze the account until the resolution.
I would also like to remove him as a shareholder.
Please advise.
