    Hi,

    Why is this the answer please?

    Which type of company meeting requires 21 days’ notice to be given unless the members consent to a shorter period?

    1. none of options require 21 days
    2. an ‘other’ general meeting where special resolution is
    3. a class meeting
    4. annual general meeting of a private company.

    4 is the answer. I would understand if it said AGM for a public company but private company’s aren’t required to have an AGM?

    Thanks,
    Chloe

    But, if a private company CHOOSES to have an AGM, then that meeting would require 21 days’ notice … unless the members agreed to a shorter notice period

    OK?

    Yeah okay, I understand. So, I have another question where I think the same thing follows and it’s the wording of the question.

    The duties of a company secretary for a private company are prescribed by whom?

    1. not applicable as private companies don’t require one (this is what I had selected)
    2. Company law
    3. The company’s constitution
    4. The board of directors (this is the answer)

    It’s because a private company can CHOOSE to have a secretary so then would be the board of directors?
