Can a member of a private company limited guarantee have more than one membership in that company?

Can a member of a private company limited guarantee have more than one membership in that company? It is assumed that the private company limited by guarantee does not have a share capital (as it has not been possible to form a company limited by guarantee with a share capital since 22 December 1980). Companies limited by guarantee and without a share capital have members who, instead of holding shares in the company, give a guarantee to pay a certain amount in the event of the company being wound up. A member’s liability is limited to the amount of that guarantee, which is usually a nominal amount (eg £1 to £10). A further key distinction between companies limited by shares and companies limited by guarantee is that a shareholder has the right to share in the profits of the company by way of receiving dividend payments. There is no such right for the members of a guarantee company to share in the profits of the company. However, the members still...
