INTRODUCTION






A sole proprietorship or partnership firm can be
formed to carry out its business even without any
registration.
But a company can not be formed or permitted to
run its business without registration. In fact, a
company comes into existence only when it is
registered with the Registrar of Companies.
For this purpose the promoter has to take the steps
to create the three basic legal documents for the
company in order to get it registered
Basic Legal documents
After getting the name approved the promoter makes an application to
the Registrar of Companies of the State in which the Registered
Office of the company is to be situated for registration of the company.
The application for registration must be accompanied by the following
documents.
(i) Memorandum of Association (MOA): It defines the objectives of
the company and Incorporation.
There are six main clauses in MOA which are as follows:
 Name clause
 Object clause
 Liability clause
 Capital clause
 Head office clause
 Subscription clause
Object clause
ultra vires


The object of the memorandum of the
company contains the object for which the
company is formed. An act of the company
must not be beyond the object clause,
otherwise it will be ultra vires and therefore
void and cannot be ratified even if all the
members wish to ratify it this is called the
doctrine of ultra vires .
Consequences of ultra vires
Injunction
 Personal liability of director
 Breach of warranty and authority

Consequences of borrowing
No loan
 Injunction
 Subrogation
 Identification and tracing

ULTRA VIRES CONTRACTS

Indoor management






The Doctrine of indoor management is a presumption on
the part of the people dealing with the company such as the
shareholders that the internal requirements with regard to
the articles of association and memorandum of association
have been complied with.
The doctrine of indoor management helps in protection of
external members from the company and states that the
people are entitled to presume that the internal proceedings
are as per the documents submitted with the registrar of
companies.
They are not allowed to go into the procedural aspect, such
as the fact that the internal proceedings might not happen
regularly, or what are the proceedings before the directors, in
an extraordinary general meeting.
ORIGIN
ROYAL BRITISH BANK
Vs
TURQUAND
(1856)




FACTS OF THE CASE ARE:
The Articles empowered the Directors to borrow money
provided they were authorized by a Resolution passed at the
General Meeting of the Co.
POINT DECIDED IS:
The outsiders dealing with the Co. are entitled to presume
that as far as the internal management of the Co. is
concerned, everything has been regularly done.
“DOCTRINE OF INDOOR
MANAGEMENT”
is also known as
“ RULE IN ROYAL BRITISH
BANK Vs TURQUAND”
DOCTRINE OF INDOOR
MANAGEMENT

“Persons transacting business with the Co. are deemed

to have notice of what they would have discovered by
making a search at the office of the Registrar of Co.’s,
and they would be stopped from asserting that they had
not read the documents. But such persons are not
deemed to have notice of, nor are they under a duty to
inquire into the internal proceedings of a Co. . Thus an
outsider is presumed to know the Constitution of a Co.,
but not what may or may not have taken place within the
doors that are closed to him.”
EXCEPTIONS TO THE DOCTRINE OF
INDOOR MANAGEMENT
1.

KNOWLEDGE OF IRREGULARITY

2.

NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE OUTSIDER

3.

FORGERY

4.

NO KNOWLEDGE OF ARTICLES

5.

ACTS OUTSIDE APPARENT AUTHORITY
RUBEN
Vs
GREAT FINGALL Ltd.
LORD LOREBURN observed of the case:
“It is quite true that persons dealing with limited liability
Co.’s are not bound to inquire into their indoor mgt. &
will not be affected by irregularities of which they have
no notice. But this doctrine, which is well established,
applies only to irregularities that otherwise might affect a
genuine transaction. It can’t apply to a FORGERY”.
