Premier Model Management Ltd v Bruce and others [2012] All ER (D) 05 (Dec)
Directorship imposed liability on the holder of the office. For that reason, no person could become a director of an English company either on original foundation or by subsequent appointment without consenting to that appointment. Section 12(3) of the Companies Act 2006 so provided in relation to founding directors and s 167(2) for replacement directors. In view of those terms of the Acts, some confirmation of the willingness of the proposed directors to accept appointment was required.
