7 Resolutions without meetings
(a) the authority has taken reasonable steps to give notice to each member setting out the terms of a proposed resolution; and
(b) a majority of the members for the time being sign a document containing a statement that they are in favour of the resolution in the terms set out in the document—
a resolution in those terms is deemed to have been passed at a meeting of the authority held on the day on which the document is signed or, if the members referred to in paragraph (b) do not sign it on the same day, on the day on which the last of those members signs the document.
(2) If a resolution is, under subclause (1), deemed to have been passed at a meeting of the authority, each member must as soon as practicable be advised of the matter and given a copy of the resolution.
(3) For the purposes of subclause (1), 2 or more separate documents containing a statement in identical terms, each of which is signed by one or more members, are deemed to constitute one document.
(4) The majority of members referred to in subclause (1)(b) must not include a member who, because of clause 6, is not entitled to vote on the resolution.
