Question 1
During oral arguments, the defendant's attorney argues that according to New York's Consolidated Laws, one must be 18 years old to be a member of a corporate board of directors. The plaintiff's attorney concedes that such a law exists, but argues that the common law allows anyone who has reached the age of 16 to become a member of a corporate board of directors, and therefore, the defendant, who is 17 years old, is a valid member of the board of directors. How will the court rule?
Correct Even if the common law allowed anyone who has reached the age of 16 to become a member of a corporate board of directors, a statute exists that negates the common law. Where the two conflict, the statute trumps the common law.
