Paragraph 5 Meetings of the Board

The Board shall arrange their hours and place of meeting and shall meet as often as is found necessary. Provided, however, that the Secretary shall call a meeting of the Board on the requisition in writing of any two members of the Board.

A quorum at meetings of the Board shall consist of three members.

The Board shall at all times have power to act notwithstanding any vacancy among their members, and may appoint committees and may, subject to the provision of the Scheme with respect to the application of the common seal of the Board, delegate any of their powers to any committee so appointed.

All questions at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, other than the Disciplinary Committee appointed under section 34, shall be decided by the majority of votes of the members present. Each member present shall have one vote, and if there be an equality of votes the member acting as chairman of the meeting shall, in addition, have a casting vote which he shall be required to exercise.

All acts done at any meetings of the Board or of any committee thereof shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment, election or qualification of any person purporting to be a member of the Board or the committee, be as valid as if that defect had not existed.

The Board shall cause minutes to be made, in books provided for the purpose, of all resolutions and proceedings of meetings of the Board, or any committee thereof, and any such minutes, if signed by any person purporting to be the chairman of the meeting to which they relate, or at which they are read, shall be received as conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated. The meetings to which any such minutes relate shall be presumed, until the contrary is proved, to have been regularly convened and constituted.
