DOCUMENT EXAMINATION LEGAL AID CASES UNDERTAKEN

One possible solution to this problem and to another problem which is manifesting itself, namely the anomalous position of "worker-directors" on the boards of semi state companies, may lie in the "two-tier" system of boards which exists under German company law. We have borrowed the "worker director" idea from German company law, but have perhaps erred in not trans- planting it in its entirety by having worker directors on a supervisory board which would not be concerned with day-to-day management decisions. Equally the "non- executive directors" might function more satisfactorily if they were removed from day-to-day contact with the executive directors and take their places on a supervisory Board. As the Draft E.E.C. Fifth Company Law Directive (which deals with this point) moves further towards adoption, perhaps we will hear more of this possibility. In the meantime, the duty of non-executive directors to be more than mere passengers remains. •
