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?
