CGOV.1:4.1 - Recover the act and the corporation

Restate what is proposed in a verb phrase: appoint a director, enter a guarantee, issue shares, approve a distribution, disclose information, challenge a decision, or amend the constitution. These are examples, not a prescribed sequence. If the request combines several acts, separate only those with different participants, authority, conditions or effects.

Identify the corporation for each act. Use its legal identity and form rather than a trading name alone. In a group, ask which entity owns the asset, incurs the obligation or has the organ being asked to decide. Include other entities only where a relation between them matters to the proposed act.

State the time at which the answer is needed. A proposed appointment, amendment or transfer may change the answer after taking effect.
