Mr. Sandeep Joshi, a practising company secretary, finishes an opinion for Orchid Pharma Pvt. Ltd. on its board's power to issue shares. The draft ends with analysis but no summarised answer. Which addition best completes the format?

The opinion should close with a conclusion that directly answers each question put, along with any caveats and recommended steps. New facts or bare lists of cases at the end do not answer the client's queries and weaken the opinion.

  1. AA conclusion giving a direct answer to each question posed, with any caveats or recommended stepsCorrect
  2. BA fresh set of facts introduced for the first time
  3. CA list of case laws without any application
  4. DA blank page for the client's remarks

Explanation

The closing part should answer each framed question directly and may add qualifications and recommended action. Introducing new facts or bare case lists at the end does not resolve the questions.
