Barron v Potter
''Barron v Potter'' () 1 Ch 895 is a UK company law case, concerning the balance of power between the board of directors and the general meeting. It stands for the principle that when the board is incapable of taking action, power to conduct the company's affairs will revert to the general meeting.
==Facts==
Mr Canon Barron was not on speaking terms with Mr William James Potter, the other director of the British Seagumite Co Ltd. Their office was 28 Fleet Street. The constitution said that the quorum for a meeting was two (art 26). Mr Potter was the chairman, with a casting vote. But Mr Barron was refusing to come to meetings. So on 23 February 1914, Mr Potter came to meet Mr Barron, as he got off the train on a Paddington Station platform, from his country home (Woodham Ferris, Essex). He told Mr Barron they were now holding a board meeting. He proposed appointing more directors. Mr Barron objected. Mr Potter said he was using his casting vote, and declared the motion effective. The report recorded Mr Potter's version of the exchange as follows:
There followed a general meeting at which new directors were again said to be appointed, again with Mr Barron's objection. Mr Barron sought a declaration that the appointment of the directors were ineffective, arguing that the meeting on the train station was no meeting, and that the general meeting's resolution was invalid, since the board was the only organ that could appoint more directors.
