Proceeding contribution from Lord Sharman (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].


Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

Our names are added to Clause 322 stand part, in which case there is a complete anomaly. That clause provides that an independent assessor appointed by the company,"““has to attend the meeting at which the poll will be taken””." Since the request for the appointment of an independent assessor may be received by the company up to a week after the poll, it is difficult to see how he could attend the meeting in some cases.
