BUSINESS LAW AND PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS/ PAPERS
Written Questions
2016-2017 Paper Open Book / 2020-2021 Specimen Paper
1. Question 1 –
a) Company looking to seek further investment – X has interest. X will be director
and shareholder. How will this affect existing voting position if she gets ordinary
shares in return of X’s investment, all directors/shareholders participate in
resolutions and no one is interested in those decisions. (6 marks)
Board level – no amendment to MA = decisions on BM will take simple majority
(MA7) and each director has one vote.
Existing position – 4 directors so to pass resolution – need atleast 3 in favour.
There is a chairperson – casting vote useful if there is a deadlock.
After X’s appointment – X will be executive / non-executive - has one vote. To
pass still need 3 in favour. But to prevent need 3 instead of 2. If all in attendance
– casting vote is less useful and voting position is diminished.
Members – if X receives ordinary shares – 50% of shareholding = can block all
ordinary and special resolutions if X has more shareholdings.
b) Options to company then give X voting rights in return of investment.
Lend the money to the company. Could require loan to be secured against
company’s assets. Company can do this – depends on existing debt and security
Company could issue non-voting shares e.g. preference shares. But shares need
to offer dividends, cumulating dividends – redeemable so can get capital sum
back.
c) X made a profit from a contract which company has approved of.
S175 CA 2006 – contract could have been an opportunity and therefore conflict
of interest.
Does not apply if exceptions listed in s175(4) apply – (b) applies as company
authorised X to take contract in her name.
See BM – is meeting quorate even though X took part who had an interest in the
resolution.
d) X wants advise on purchase of shares of company and whether it is a good idea.
Firm is not regulated by FMSA.
S19 FMSA = not involve yourself in regulated activity unless authorised/exempt.

there a specified investment, is there a specified activity, is there an exclusion
