29.1 INTRODUCTION
One of the major changes in the new company’s act is the ability to do various things electronically. Valid meetings can be held by electronic methods. E.g. Skype Gotowebinar etc. Resolutions and special resolutions can now be taken in writing without it being necessary to actually have a physical meeting. This means that the resolutions can be taken by electronic means. Directors can send out all the documentation and the shareholders can vote on this on an electronic basis provided the requirements of the relevant laws are adhered to.
With an understanding of the requirements of the companies act 2008 and the Electronic Communications and Transaction Act 2002 (ECTA) one can convert many manual procedures to an electronic format.
