Peveril Gold Mines Ltd that a company’s articles of association could not bar an application for winding up by a shareholder because such a petition was permissible under the Companies Act.5 It, therefore, follows that the precise effect of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1985 was unclear. Section 33 of the Companies Act 2006 was intended to clarify the meaning and effect of Section 14.

The Memorandum is very important since it sets out the company’s objects and what the company may or may not do.13 The main purpose of the Memorandum is to provide external notice to outsiders of the company’s structure and permissible dealings.14 Therefore if a provision of the Articles of Association do not comport with the Memorandum that provision is voidable.15 For example, the Articles may not authorize any transaction that is inconsistent with the object clauses, as provided for .in the Memorandum as that transaction would be ultra vires.
