157: Director ceasing to hold office
or “How a director can leave or be removed from their role”
You could also call this:

“Director's actions remain valid despite appointment issues”

If someone acts as a director of a company, their actions are still valid even if there were problems with how they became a director. This means that even if the person wasn’t appointed properly or if they don’t meet the requirements to be a director, the things they do as a director still count. So, you don’t need to worry about a director’s actions being invalid just because there was an issue with their appointment or qualifications.
