Gold Rule
Legal Binding
A 取締役会決議 is legally binding once properly recorded and documented, unless it violates corporate bylaws or laws.
Word Origin
取締役 (torishimariyaku, 'director') + 会 (kai, 'meeting') + 決議 (ketsugi, 'resolution'). The compound emerged in the Meiji era as corporate governance structures were formalized in Japan.
