Abstract:

In the recent case Massey v Cooney the New South Wales Court of Appeal encountered the exact question as to whether a deadlock in the board enables the general meeting to exercise its reserve powers to ratify an unauthorized proceeding initiated in the name of the company where the management of the company was given to the board through an article that was identical to reg. 66(1). It is therefore worthwhile to take a look at the decision in this case and consider in what ways it will impact on the development of the jurisprudence on the division of corporate powers in Australia. The note is organized into three parts. Part B introduces the facts of the case. Part C examines how this case was decided. Part D evaluates the judgment of Hodgson J.
