Harold Holdsworth & Co (Wakefield) Ltd v Caddies [1955] 1 WLR 352
Judgement for the case Harold Holdsworth & Co (Wakefield) Ltd v Caddies
Table Of Contents
X was appointed managing director of a company; under terms of appointment was stated that X would carry exercise the powers of the company as would be from time to time vested in him by board of directors.
Board decided to make X concentrate exclusively on a subsidiary company; X stated that this was repudiation of contract of employment as it was inconsistent with his role as managing director.
Held
Terms of appointment made it clear that X, as managing director, only had so much power as board might vest in him.
Thus board’s later decision was not breach of this agreement.
