Had to point two big plot mistakes

Since I have been through both the arbitration and investors trying to remove the CEO, I had to point two simple issues:

1. The legal concept of severability. Normally if the clause in the contract which is illegal in some jurisdiction only this clause is voided, not the whole contract. What this means is the employment contract with Hooli normally would still be considered legal contract with the exception of the clause prohibiting seeking employment.

2. Board cannot hold an "emergency" meeting without informing the other board members. Because of this Aviga decision is non-binding. Furthermore, existing board needs to confirm the stock sale as well the new board member election, so new Aviga board members cannot even vote yet. Since Aviga shown has hand before it was properly done, company board members can postpone CEO removal for a really long time. If they get a good lawyer, they can do this almost indefinitely.
