118 Validity of acts of school association

(1)  An act or proceeding of a school association, or a person acting under the direction of a school association, is not invalidated by reason only that at the time when the act or proceeding was done, taken or commenced there was a vacancy in the membership of the school association or in the position of an officeholder in the school association.

(2)  Despite the subsequent discovery –

(a) of a defect in the appointment or election of a member of a school association or an officeholder in a school association; or

(b) that any person was disqualified from acting as, or incapable of being, a member of or officeholder in the school association –

all acts and proceedings of the school association, or of a person acting under the direction of a school association, are as valid as if the member or officeholder had been duly appointed or elected and was qualified to act as, or capable of being, a member or officeholder, and as if the school association or offices in the school association had been fully constituted and filled.
