SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill drafts a UK Companies Act 2006 written board/committee/shareholder resolution that matches your in-house format, using precedent where available, and includes safety gates for major one-off actions and director conflicts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precedent-driven drafting: Searches a resolutions repository for the closest matching precedent, or falls back to seed resolutions from the corporate config.
  • CA2006 and articles guardrails: Surfaces rules and checks tied to company type (Ltd vs plc), written-resolution permissibility, and articles constraints.
  • Conflict and signatory handling: Flags director conflict considerations (e.g., CA2006 s.177) and produces a signatory checklist and review prompts.
  • Major-action review workflow: Detects “review flag — major one-off” actions and prompts outside-solicitors review, with a same-day signature stop when irreversibility pressure is present.
  • Matter-aware drafting (optional): Leverages practice-level and matter workspace context when enabled and correctly instructed.

Quick Start

Use the written-consent skill to draft a board resolution approving a specified action by passing the Company’s action details and the required date.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a Companies Act 2006 written resolution for board approval?

To draft a Companies Act 2006 written resolution, this Skill matches your corporate house format using precedent lookup or seed fallback, producing a compliant draft for board, committee, or shareholder approvals. It outputs the resolution text with a signatory checklist.

When do I need a written resolution instead of holding a board meeting?

A written resolution is needed for routine corporate governance approvals like officer appointments or dividend declarations when directors consent in writing without holding a formal meeting. The Skill enforces permissibility checks based on company type and articles constraints.

Does the written resolution draft handle director conflict of interest under CA2006 s.177?

Yes, the written resolution draft handles director conflict considerations under CA2006 s.177 by flagging conflict requirements during drafting. It includes solicitor review prompts and procedural warnings to ensure compliance with conflict-of-interest regulations.

Can I use this to draft shareholder written resolutions for a UK plc?

Yes, you can draft shareholder written resolutions for a UK plc where permitted. The Skill applies CA2006 and articles guardrails specific to company type, verifying written-resolution permissibility and enforcing required prerequisites from your corporate configuration.

What happens when a written resolution involves a major one-off corporate action?

When a written resolution involves a major one-off corporate action, the Skill classifies it with a review flag and prompts outside-solicitors review. It enforces a same-day signature stop if irreversibility pressure is detected to prevent unauthorized commitments.

What are the limitations of using written resolutions for Companies Act 2006 compliance?

Limitations include written-resolution permissibility restrictions tied to company type and articles constraints. The Skill surfaces CA2006 procedural warnings including 27-day notification rules and halts same-day signatures when irreversibility pressure or major one-off actions are detected.
