Or take a nominee director, that is, a director of a company who is nominated by a large shareholder to represent his interests. There is nothing wrong with that. It is done every day. Nothing wrong that is, so long as the director is left free to exercise his best judgement in the interests of the company which he serves. But if he is put on terms that he is bound to act in the affairs of the company in accordance with the direction of his patron, it is beyond doubt unlawful.
