It has come to my notice that a ltd company with which I am associated has nothing in its Memoranda and Articles of Association relating to voting rights, i.e. if a shareholder vote is taken on some issue, is that issue determined on the basis of one share one vote or one shareholder one vote? I don't believe there is a legal default position but would be interested to know, from those who know about such things, whether
1) There is a default position if the Articles don't address the issue.2) How one would set about voting to install a paragraph in the Articles to cover this point, bearing in mind that if votes were taken on the wording of that paragraph and counted in the two ways, two different results might be achieved.
