UAE: Can our board remove a director mid-term if the shareholders disagree?

Document the conflicts of interest in the Board minutes and issue a formal notice to the director and the shareholders.

Even if you expect a "No" vote, the law requires you to follow the procedural steps of calling a meeting to discuss the removal.

If the EGM fails and the conflicts of interest are provable and damaging to the company, your most secure route is filing a case with the Dubai/UAE Courts for dismissal based on a breach of fiduciary duties.

There are options to file the case through the Court and get the director removed. Please share your direct number so to call and discuss the process.
