I thought one shareholder was enough for any company, not just public ones.

Wait, can directors really be held liable like that? Sounds risky!

I thought (i) and (iii) were both correct, but I'm not confident about (ii). It seems like a tricky part of company law.

I feel like (iii) is also correct since every public company must have at least one shareholder. I just can't recall if it's more than that.

I'm not entirely sure about (ii), but I think directors can be held liable if they trade without the certificate. That sounds familiar from our case studies.

I remember that a public company needs a trading certificate before it can start trading, so I think (i) is definitely correct.
