Hi,
I have been running a small shared contracting business (2 contractors) in the IT finance sector for the last 10 years.
I've just discovered this evening that my business partner resigned her directorship over a year ago, but never told me. (Her husband did the same with his position as company secretary.) I only discovered this through a cursory glance at our company history at Companies House. The same search showed me that she has also signed off a set of company accounts using my name as the director.
I've just about picked my jaw up off the floor. Putting aside how disfunctional this all is, what is the legal position? Surely a director must inform his or her fellow director(s) when resigning? The company address remains her address, so if anything were sent in written form as a formality to the company address then it wouldn't have arrived to me (obviously).
Regards
