She doesn't go to any AGMs as in her 80s this is difficult and all her votes have been cast by the chair ( to his gains no doubt) is it legal for me to attend the AGM as her representative this way taking her votes from the chair?
Can I ask awkward questions at the AGM?
Shame about not having any VM shares..

You will need a letter of authority to act as her proxy in the meeting. Companies usually distribute a pro-forma LOA for people in similar situations to use.
The shareholders will not be liable in any court action that is made against BT. The company staff and executive carry the legal risks associated with their actions. The share holders provide the capital that form the base of BT.
