Our corporate law experts are often faced with a recurring query from clients: What is the legal distinction between a director's removal and their resignation?

While both actions result in a director vacating office, resignation is voluntary and unilateral. Removing a director is procedurally more complicated – and often due to serious misconduct, a breach of fiduciary duties, or incapacity.

Understanding this difference – and legal consequences – is critical for boards, shareholders, and directors themselves, especially when disputes arise.
