D is interesting, but how do you determine a "fair price"?

The clause about selling shares seems tricky too. I recall a practice question where the company had to follow specific procedures for share buybacks.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the dividend payment clause could be enforceable since it relates to shareholder rights.

I think the clause about Tom being the managing director for life could be problematic. It seems too absolute and might not hold up.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. First, I need to identify the key legal principles around the enforceability of articles of association clauses. Then I can apply those to each of the provisions given in the question.

This question seems straightforward, I think I can handle it. I'll need to analyze each provision and determine which one would not be enforceable against the company.

Clause B about shareholder voting rights sounds pretty standard, but Clause C is just asking for trouble. The company will be stuck with Tom whether he's good or not.

Clause A about paying dividends in cash is reasonable, but Clause C is just absurd. The company can't be bound to a managing director for life!

I think Clause D could also be unenforceable. Forcing shareholders to sell their shares to the company at a price determined by the auditors seems too restrictive.
