Subsection (3) provides "that a director of a company may have regard to the interests of a particular member of the company". However, that may be contradictory to the obligation on directors to act in the best interests of the company. Therefore, this could offer somebody a way out of acting in the best interests of the company if this language is not tightened up to clarify exactly what it means by stating "that a director of a company may have regard to the interests of a particular member of the company".
