Does an existing private company need to amend its Articles if it wishes not have to a company secretary?
Whether a particular private company needs to amend its Articles before it ceases to have a company secretary depends on the company’s articles. It would not have to do so if its Articles simply require or authorise things to be done by or to a secretary or provide as to the manner in which, or terms on which, a secretary is to be appointed or removed, as would be the case if it had adopted the relevant provisions in Table A. However the company would have first to amend its Articles if these include an express provision that it have a company secretary.
