26A Quorum at general meetings

(1) Where a general meeting fails because a quorum has not formed within 60 minutes of the notified time of the meeting: (a) the Chairperson must reconvene the meeting in the same manner, for the same time, in the same place and for the same day of the following week, as the failed meeting; and (b) at the reconvened meeting, a quorum is constituted by 10% of the registered members. (2) Where a general meeting convened under subsection (1) fails because a quorum has not formed within 60 minutes of the notified time of the meeting: (a) the Chairperson must reconvene the meeting in the same manner, for the same time, in the same place and for the same day of the following week, as the failed meeting; and (b) at the reconvened meeting, a quorum is constituted by 10% of the registered members. (3) Where it would be unreasonable or impracticable for a meeting to be reconvened at or on the time, day or place referred to in subsection (1) or (2) (as the case may be), the Chairperson may specify another time, day or place, provided the time and day specified are not earlier than the seventh day after the failed meeting, and the place is at, or in the proximity of the place referred to in subsection (1) or (2). (4) A reference in subsection (1) or (2) to the same manner means the manner in which the general meeting would normally be convened, except that notice of the meeting is to be given at least 6 days before the day of the meeting provided for in subsection (1), (2) or (3) (as the case may be). (5) This section does not affect the operation of subsections 26(2) to (4).
