If so, a recent High Court decision in Hashmi v Lorimer-Wing [2022] EWHC 191 (Ch) means you should review your company’s Articles.

Before this case it was generally accepted that Model Article 7 meant that a sole director was always able to act and make decisions for a company. But the decision makes it clear that Model Article 11(2) amounts to a requirement for two directors to be present for a board meeting to take place.  This means that a company which has adopted the Model Articles in standard form must have at least two directors to manage its business and make decisions.
