Directors reinstated by interlocutory orders have full authority to appoint administrators under s 436A where the company faces insolvency concerns; the 'caretaker' director principle does not preclude such appointments where they are necessary for the proper running of the company. Notice of a directors' meeting given by telephone at or about the time the meeting begins may constitute reasonable notice under s 248C where the business is urgent, the company is small, and the absent director has previously indicated unwillingness to attend. The Supreme Court of Western Australia has jurisdiction under both s 447C and s 447A notwithstanding s 9 of the ADJR Act.
