Removal of a Director Pack

Removing a director in Sri Lanka isn’t just a board decision — the Companies Act sets out a specific legal process under Section 206, and getting the documentation wrong can make the removal voidable. This Removal of a Director Pack gives you all 4 documents you need to do it correctly, in one purchase.

What’s included

• Formal Letter to the Director — the required notice informing the director of the proposed resolution, and their 14-day right to submit a representation
• EGM Notice — the meeting notice, explicitly stating the purpose is to remove the director, with the proposed resolution wording
• EGM Minutes — records the resolution being passed at the meeting, including the note that Form 20 must be filed with the Registrar
• Extract of Resolution — a standalone certified extract of the resolution, for filing alongside Form 20

Who this is for

Directors, shareholders, and company secretaries of a Private Limited Liability Company in Sri Lanka who need to formally remove a director — whether due to performance issues, breach of duties, or any other reason.

The legal process, in brief

• A meeting must be called specifically for the purpose of removing the director — the notice must state this explicitly
• The director has 14 days from receiving notice to submit a written representation, which must be circulated to shareholders before the vote
• The resolution to remove the director is passed by ordinary resolution (majority vote) at the meeting
• Form 20 must be filed with the Registrar General of Companies within 20 days of the change

Template information

All four documents are created in Microsoft Word (.docx) and are easily editable. Placeholders are clearly marked — insert your company and director details and they’re ready to use.
