Lack of interest among members to attend company meetings is not a new issue. Members acting passively in a meeting are a common scenario. The law is clear on the importance of a members' meeting and role of members in it. Although the law provides them with rights and protection, in most cases they fail to make use of them. Despite this apathy, a study on how members are protected at company meetings is important. This is because there are minority shareholders who may be discriminated against or oppressed by majority. It is important for members, in particular the minority, to fully understand their rights and the protection given to them by law. This dissertation will assist existing company members and future investors to know more on their rights in company meetings as provided by the Common Law and the Companies Act 1965. This dissertation will discuss the rights and protection before, during and after the meeting. This dissertation will also discuss members' rights to bring an action in case injustice is done to them during the convening and conducting process of meetings. This dissertation will also try to examine if there is any insufficiency in the existing law in providing rights and protection to members in relation to company meetings.
