Article 146 Use of proxies by the chair

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Where a proxy appoints the chair (however described in the proxy) as proxy-holder the chair may not refuse to be the proxy-holder.

(2)

Where the SMCL administrator is appointed as proxy-holder but another person acts as chair of the meeting, that other person may use the proxies as if that person were the proxy-holder.

(3)

Where the chair holds a proxy which includes a requirement to vote for a particular resolution and no other person proposes that resolution—

(a)

the chair must propose it unless the chair considers that there is good reason for not doing so; and

(b)

if the chair does not propose it, the chair must as soon as reasonably practicable after the meeting deliver a notice of the reason why that was not done to the person making the proxy.
