Andrew O’Brien KC appeared for the applicant, instructed by Small Myers Hughes Lawyers.
This case involved an application brought by Christopher John Woodrow, seeking orders directing ASIC to rectify its register to restore Mr Woodrow to the register as a director of Dogs Queensland, and seeking declarations that the resolution of the board was ineffective. Mr Woodrow also sought a declaration that he had been, and remains a director of Dogs Queensland. The Court considered the interpretation of the Dogs Queensland Constitution and the Dogs Queensland Rules, specifically the meaning of “Member”, “Suspended Member” and “Director”. The Court held that the proper interpretation of clause 31 of the Constitution requires Dogs Queensland to hold a Special General Meeting, before a director may be removed from their position. The application was granted, with the direction and declarations sought by Mr Woodrow given.
