Løst ifølge retningslinjer fra britiske "The Financial Reporting Council" og deres "Combined Code on Corporate Governance" (
http://www.frc.org.uk/about/):
The deputy chairman’s primary responsibility is to act in the place of the
chairman when the chairman is unavailable to do so (whether for reasons of
absence, conflict of interest or other reason). The deputy chairman may also
assist the chairman in performing his role, particularly with regard to
governance issues. This may include:
fulfilling chairman’s responsibilities for organising and leading Board
meetings when the chairman is not available to do so;
keeping in close contact with the chairman on key issues;
actively participating in Board committees, in order to be well
informed and stay current with the views of committees and their
members
providing input on the Board agendas to the chairman;
together with the Chairman, providing advice and support to senior
management on public affairs; and
advising the chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the
flow of information to the Board
Så man kan anta at Derek Llambias først og fremst vil ha en rådgiverrolle for Chris Mort, samt at han kan utføre hans roller dersom Mort skulle være indisponert av ulike grunner.
