Hi Daneel,

Without getting into too protracted an explanation involving the constructs of Company law the short explanation is that the Company Secretary assumes criminal liability for defaults of any Limited or publically owned company.

From that perspective, and for the purposes of what we are discussing here, the Company Secretary is a much more viable avenue for the resolution of disputes or complaints in respect of contractual obligations than a company director / shareholder.

Directors are culpable for those legal responsibilities under Company Law (not necessarily criminal offences) to which they subscribe. The Secretary, however, is responsible for a very broad ranging gamut of legal obligations (both statutory and criminal) in respect of the carrying out of the daily affairs of the business at hand.
