# Companies Act 1985, Paragraph 5

Extent: E+W+S

Where a person is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of a body corporate, and that body corporate is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of any of the voting power at general meetings of another body corporate (“the effective voting power”), then, for purposes of paragraph 4(b), the effective voting power is taken to be exercisable by that person.
As this paragraph applies for the purposes of section 346(4) and (5), “more than one-half” is substituted for “one-third or more”.
