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.
