Appointment of directors to be voted on individually.

174.(1) At a general meeting of a company [other than a private company], a
motion for the appointment of two or more persons as directors of the company

so made has first been agreed to by the meeting without any vote being given
against it.

(2) Subject to sub-sections (3) and (4), a resolution moved in contravention
of this section shall be void, whether or not its being so moved was objected
to at the time.

(3) Sub-section (2) shall not be taken as excluding the operation of section
one hundred and seventy-one.

(4) Where such a resolution moved as aforesaid is passed, no provision for the
automatic reappointment of retiring directors in default of another
appointment shall apply.

(5) For the purposes of this section, a motion for approving a person's
appointment or for nominating a person for appointment shall be treated as a
motion for his appointment.
