Company Law Reform Bill

I shall speak briefly to Clause 169 stand part and Clause 209 stand part. I may be misunderstanding what is intended here, but, to those who are not lawyers coming to the text, it seems daft that there needs to be a statutory requirement for a director to have a meeting with himself. This has led to litigation and technical difficulties when the requirement has not been observed. The noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, will probably correct me, but I think that the reference is Neptune (Vehicle Washing Equipment) Ltd v Fitzgerald 1996, Chapter 274. The purpose of the Bill is simplification, and one should be realistic about small, especially one-man, companies. I hope that the Minister will enlighten us.
