Mmm.
The Companies Act is a good read. It has a whole section on the responsibilities of a company director and their need to operate with independence. For example:
Independent judgement
The third major duty requires directors to exercise independent judgement. Directors are meant to develop their own informed view on the company’s activities.
Directors should not be delegates who simply implement the commands of other parties (such as major shareholders). Nor should they avoid their responsibility to make independent decisions by relying on the knowledge or judgement of other directors or experts.
A director needs to form their own view, and this may require some effort – especially if they are not already familiar with key aspects of the company’s activities.
