This chapter discusses the appointment and removal of directors, including corporate directors, and especially considers the recently enacted requirements for identity verification on appointment and addresses the consequences of appointments where the individual’s identity has not been verified. It also considers directors’ remuneration. This chapter addresses the three classes of directors: the de jure director, the de facto director, and the shadow director. The chapter considers the behaviour which will result in being classified as a de facto or a shadow director, explores the extensive case law on these issues, and identifies the duties and liabilities which attach or potentially attach to each category.
