Amotion/Disfranchisement/Expulsion

上述单词均有驱逐或取消的含义。

在公司法中，amotion是指按普通法之程序，经股东大会同意解除公司某高级官员职务，如因故解除某人董事职务，但其仍然可保留其公司成员资格。而disfranchisement和expulsion则都是指取消某人作为公司成员的资格。

Amotion

n.

驱逐，解职，解除董事程序，非法夺走他人动产。

英文释义：

1. A turning out, as the eviction of a tenant or the removal of a person from office.

2. The common law procedure available to shareholders to remove a corporate director for cause.

“The cases do not distinguish clearly between disfranchisement and amotion. The former applies to members, and the latter only to officers, and if an officer be removed for good cause, he may still continue to be a member of the corporation. Disfranchisement is the greater power,and more formidable in its application; and in joint stock or moneyed corporations no stockholder can be disfranchised, and thereby deprived of his property or interest in the general fund, by any act of the corporation, without at least an express authority for that purpose. “

3. The wrongful moving or carrying away of another’s personal property.
