Paragraph 4 Records

The GMCA must make arrangements for the names of members and substitute members present at any meeting to be recorded.

Minutes of the proceedings of a meeting of the GMCA, or any committee or sub-committee of the GMCA are to be kept in such form as the GMCA may determine.

Any such minutes are to be signed at the same or next suitable meeting of the GMCA by the person presiding at that meeting.

Any minute purporting to be signed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) shall be received in evidence without further proof.

Until the contrary is proved, a meeting of the GMCA a minute of whose proceedings has been signed in accordance with this paragraph is deemed to have been duly convened and held, and all the members and substitute members present at the meeting are deemed to have been duly qualified.

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) the next suitable meeting is the next following meeting or, where standing orders made by the GMCA provide for another meeting of the authority to be regarded as suitable, either the next following meeting or that other meeting.
