Paragraph 12 Meetings

The Corporation shall meet at least once in every term, and shall hold such other meetings as may be necessary.

Subject to paragraph (3), all meetings shall be summoned by the Clerk to the Corporation, who shall, at least 7 calendar days before the date of the meeting, send to the members written notice of the meeting and a copy of the proposed agenda.

However, if it is proposed to consider at any meeting the remuneration, conditions of service, conduct, suspension, dismissal or retirement of the Clerk to the Corporation, the Chair (and not the Clerk) shall, at least 7 calendar days before the date of the meeting, send to the members a copy of the agenda item concerned together with any relevant papers.

A special meeting of the Corporation may be called at any time by the Chair or at the request in writing of any 5 members. Where the Chair or, in his absence, the Vice-Chair so directs on the ground that there are matters demanding urgent consideration, it shall be sufficient if the written notice convening the meeting and the proposed agenda are given within such period, being less than 7 calendar days, as he specifies.

Every member of the Corporation shall act in the best interests of the Corporation and accordingly shall not be bound in speaking and voting by mandates given to him by any other body or person.
