Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: corporate officers and directors

Probably not, since matters of this sort are not generally addressed by statute. They would be a matter of bylaws, at most. However, I can't give you a truly definitive answer without knowing whether this is a regular (for profit), nonprofit, or some other specialized kind of corporation. Further, when you speak of "the form," I'm not sure whether you mean a particular form prescribed by law or regulation, or just "a form" (user defined and created).

Also, your question mentions "installation of new officers to a board." What kind of board? A board of directors? A corporation doesn't usually appoint officers to a board of directors - the shareholders elect members of the board of directors. The directors might also be officers, but that is incidental.

Your question should be re-asked, using about eight or ten sentences to describe what kind of corporation you mean, what "form" you have in mind, what the full name and purpose of the "board" is, who are "members" in this corporation, and so on. Also, exactly what did the secretary fail to do, and why do you think that was improper?
