Jack, Bill and George are the only directors of Sand and Snow Ltd (S&S), a company that sells surfing and snowboarding holiday packages. They each own 10% of S&S's shares. The remainder of the shares are owned by George's father, Barry, who owns 15% of S&S's shares, and other members of Barry's large extended family.

(a) Barry has a falling out with Jack and decides that he wants to remove Jack from the board and replace him with Jack's sister, Hillary. Assuming that the next AGM is not happening until 9 months from now and Barry does not want to wait that long, how can he accomplish this?

(b) Hillary was on a working vacation in the US employed as a ski instructor in Utah. While she was there, she was running low on money and in desperation paid for a meal using a credit card she had found on the slopes. She was convicted of credit card fraud (a crime which carries a maximum 10- year gaol sentence) but was only fined $500 because of mitigating circumstances. Can she still be a director of S&S?
